How to set Watch Dog Timer in Intel Galileo

371 Views Asked by At

I am working on Intel Galileo (Linux running on it). Now I want to set a watch dog timer to reset my sketch if some error is acknowledged or my sketch crashes due to some reason.

I have gone through Intel Galileo datasheet but didn't find anything regarding watch dog timer.

So, I tried quark x1000 datasheet but couldn't make much out of it.

I am not able to understand how watch dog timer is initialized on Intel Galileo.

Information on the watchdog timer is in Section 21.14 in this document.

However, the watchdog timer isn't going to recognize that your sketch crashed, only if the entire OS crashed.
