8RDA hardware watchdog timer

[phranzee]

8rdawdt enables the hardware watchdog timer using the Attansic

ATXP1 chip found on Epox 8RDA+ (and maybe others, tell me if

you know a board with this chip).

 

What is a watchdog timer?

 

A "watchdog" is a piece of hardware that counts down a timer.

If the timer reaches zero, it hard-resets the computer (like pushing

the reset button). So the software must reset this timer too avoid

rebooting. The good thing is: If the computer hangs, the software

can't reset the timer and it (should) reboot automatically.
