It can generate a general reset or a processor * reset only. It is clocked by slow clock divided by 128. * * The WDT is running at reset with 16 seconds watchdog period (slow clock at 32.768 kHz) * and external reset generation enabled. The user must either disable it or * reprogram it to meet the application requires. * * To use the WDT, the user could follow these few steps: *
