The goal of the document is to illustrate how to enable and use watchdog of SP7021.

...

Refer to the following C example code of watchdog setup and feeding application. The application setups, starts, and then feeds watchdog every 12 seconds. The maximum time-out time of watchdog of SP7021 have no limit.
