Software watchdog timer

The processor provides 11 programmable timers: Software watchdog timer

10 general purpose timers

The software watchdog timer, set to specific time intervals, handles gross system misbehaviors. The watchdog timer can be set to timeout in longer ranges of time intervals, typically in seconds.

The software watchdog timer can be enabled or disabled, depending on the operating condition. When enabled, system software must write to the Software Watchdog Timer register before it expires. When the timer does timeout, the system is preconfigured to generate an IRQ, an FIQ, or a RESET to restart the entire system.
