Description and default configuration
Default mounting option is depicted in the following figure.
[[File:BoraBorax-reset-scheme.png|thumb|center|700px600px|Watchdog timer default mounting option]]
WDI is connected to Zynq's PS_MIO15_500 I/O. This signal is available on Bora Xpress connectors as PS_MIO15_500 (J1.133).
*tDELAY = first edge
*tWD = 10s.
In other words, WDT is started when the first transition on WDI input is detected. Once started, its timeout period is 10s. The first transition of WDI input should be is under software control. However, despite of the presence of 22kOhm pull-down, during power-on sequence a spurious 0-to-1 transition may be observed on WDI input. The voltage swing of this transition is variable, since it depends on the internal Zynq's pull-up value of PS_MIO15_500 pad. In general, <u>WDT may be inadvertently started at power-up</u>, before software takes control of PS_MIO15_500 GPIO. <u>To avoid this situation, it is recommended to add a 2.2kOhm pull-down on carrier board, connected to the PS_MIO15_500 signal</u>.
In any case, when When the watchdog is started, the software (bootloader/operating system) must take care of toggling the watchdog trigger pin (WDI) before the timeout expiration.
