Introduction
The watchdog timer can be used to prevent system lockup; for example, when software becomes trapped in a deadlock.In normal operation, the user restarts the watchdog at regular intervals before the timer counts down to zero.
In cases where the timer does reach zero and the watchdog is enabled, one or a combination of the following signals is

Polled mode example
https://github.com/Xilinx/embeddedsw/blob/master/XilinxProcessorIPLib/drivers/scuwdt/examples/xscuwdt_polled_example.cThis test contains a design example using the Xilinx SCU Private Watchdog Timer driver (XScuWdt) and hardware device in watchdog mode. It
illustrates how to initialize the watchdog device and restart it periodially in polling mode to avoid the assertion of the WDRESETREQ pin.
