Introduction


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

The Xilinx® LogiCORE? IP AXI4-Lite Timebase Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a 32-bit peripheral that provides a 32-bit free-running
timebase and watchdog timer.
