hi

im having a MPC860T based board with
an hardware watchdog on it. It must be
triggered within a second, otherwise
the MPC will be reset.

In eCos applications i am having a
separate thread triggering the watchdog.
No problem.

How should i deal with it in RedBoot:

Currently i scattered several of 
TOGGLE_WATCHDOG macros into the
RedBoot code, but this should only
be a preliminarily solution.

What do you think about using some
of the timer interrupts for generating
the watchdog triggers.

Thanks for advice, and how to start.

best regards, christoph
