Jul 3, 2013 at 21:03 comment added Michael Karas This initial timeout of the WDT and subsequent interrupt can also be used to advantage for some applications that are enabling the WDT for actual hangup recovery. One can look at the stacked return address in the WDT ISR to infer what the code was trying to be doing when the "unexpected timeout" happened.
