Watchdog Timer

Photo related to watchdog timer to be added

This section deals with watchdog timer circuitry that has been configured in IoT Node configurations. A watchdog timer helps a Node to recover from a hardware or software fault that causes the processor to hang by automatically initiating a processor reboot when the processor fails to 'pat the dog' within a preset time period.

The watchdog timer circuit is simply a variation of the sleep timer circuit described elsewhere on this site, based on the TI TPL5010 rather than the TI TPL5111 timer IC.
