The working algorithm of the WDT function can be simply described as a counting process. The Time-Out Interval can be set through software programming. The availability of the time-out interval settings by software or hardware varies from boards to boards. WADE-8011/WADE-8012 User’s Manual...
Page 27
BIOS Setup Information WADE-8011/WADE-8012 allows users to control WDT through dynamic software programming. The WDT starts counting when it is activated. It sends out a signal to system reset or to non-maskable interrupt (NMI), when time-out interval ends. To prevent the time-out interval from running out, a re-trigger signal will need to be sent before the counting reaches its end.
I/O function. GPIO Pin Assignment The WADE-8011/WADE-8012 provides 8 input/output ports that can be individually configured to perform a simple basic I/O function. Users can configure each individual port to become an input or output port by programming register bit of I/O Selection.
