Watchdog Timer standalone driver

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
generated: a system reset, an interrupt, or an external signal. The watchdog timeout period
and the duration of any output signals are variable.

This page gives an overview of Watchdog timer driver which is available as part of the Xilinx Vivado and SDK distribution.
