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.

Define Documentation

   #define wdt_disable() Value:
       __asm__ __volatile__ (      'in __tmp_reg__, __SREG__' ''      'cli' ''     'out %0, %1' ''     'out %0, __zero_reg__' ''     'out __SREG__,__tmp_reg__' ''     : /* no outputs */     : 'I' (_SFR_IO_ADDR(_WD_CONTROL_REG)),     'r' ((uint8_t)(_BV(_WD_CHANGE_BIT) | _BV(WDE)))     : 'r0' )
       Disable the watchdog timer, if possible. This attempts to turn off the
       Enable bit in the watchdog control register. See the datasheet for
       details.

   #define wdt_enable(value) Value:
       __asm__ __volatile__ (          'in __tmp_reg__,__SREG__' ''            'cli' ''            'wdr' ''            'out %0,%1' ''          'out __SREG__,__tmp_reg__' ''           'out %0,%2'         : /* no outputs */          : 'I' (_SFR_IO_ADDR(_WD_CONTROL_REG)),         'r' (_BV(_WD_CHANGE_BIT) | _BV(WDE)),           'r' ((uint8_t) ((value & 0x08 ? _WD_PS3_MASK : 0x00) |             _BV(WDE) | (value & 0x07)) )         : 'r0'      )
       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).

       See also the symbolic constants WDTO_15MS et al.

   #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 WDT0_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);
