Detailed Description

       #include <avr/wdt.h>

       This header file declares the interface to some inline macros handling the watchdog timer
       present in many AVR devices. In order to prevent the watchdog timer configuration from
       being accidentally altered by a crashing application, a special timed sequence is required
       in order to change it. The macros within this header file handle the required sequence
       automatically before changing any value. Interrupts will be disabled during the
       manipulation.

       Note
           Depending on the fuse configuration of the particular device, further restrictions
           might apply, in particular it might be disallowed to turn off the watchdog timer.

       Note that for newer devices (ATmega88 and newer, effectively any AVR that has the option
       to also generate interrupts), the watchdog timer remains active even after a system reset
       (except a power-on condition), using the fastest prescaler value (approximately 15 ms). It
       is therefore required to turn off the watchdog early during program startup, the datasheet
       recommends a sequence like the following:

       #include <stdint.h>
       #include <avr/wdt.h>

       uint8_t mcusr_mirror __attribute__ ((section (".noinit")));

       void get_mcusr(void)   __attribute__((naked))   __attribute__((section(".init3")));
       void get_mcusr(void)
       {
         mcusr_mirror = MCUSR;
         MCUSR = 0;
         wdt_disable();
       }

       Saving the value of MCUSR in mcusr_mirror is only needed if the application later wants to
       examine the reset source, but in particular, clearing the watchdog reset flag before
       disabling the watchdog is required, according to the datasheet.

Macro Definition Documentation

   #define wdt_reset()   __asm__ __volatile__ ('wdr')
       Reset the watchdog timer. When the watchdog timer is enabled, a call to this instruction
       is required before the timer expires, otherwise a watchdog-initiated device reset will
       occur.

   #define WDTO_120MS   3
       See WDTO_15MS

   #define WDTO_15MS   0
       Symbolic constants for the watchdog timeout. Since the watchdog timer is based on a free-
       running RC oscillator, the times are approximate only and apply to a supply voltage of 5
       V. At lower supply voltages, the times will increase. For older devices, the times will be
       as large as three times when operating at Vcc = 3 V, while the newer devices (e. g.
       ATmega128, ATmega8) only experience a negligible change.

       Possible timeout values are: 15 ms, 30 ms, 60 ms, 120 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, 2 s. (Some
       devices also allow for 4 s and 8 s.) Symbolic constants are formed by the prefix WDTO_,
       followed by the time.

       Example that would select a watchdog timer expiry of approximately 500 ms:

       wdt_enable(WDTO_500MS);

Function Documentation

   static __inline__ __attribute__ ((__always_inline__)) const [static]
       Enable the watchdog timer, configuring it for expiry after timeout (which is a combination
       of the WDP0 through WDP2 bits to write into the WDTCR register; For those devices that
       have a WDTCSR register, it uses the combination of the WDP0 through WDP3 bits).
