软件看门狗（software watchdog） What is a watchdog (watchdog)? The watchdog, also called watchdog timer, a timer circuit, generally have an input, called the dogs, an output to the MCU RST terminal, MCU normal work time, every time one end of the output signal to feed the dog to the end, the WDT is cleared, if more than the prescribed time not to feed the dog. (usually when the program running out), WDT time than to give back to a reset signal to the MCU, the MCU is reset. To prevent the MCU crash. The function of the watchdog is to prevent the program from the cycle of death, or the program running. Working principle: the system will start running after the watchdog counter, the watchdog began to automatic counting, if to a certain period of time not to clear the watchdog, then the watchdog counter will overflow causing the watchdog interrupt, causing the system to reset. So watch out for the watchdog when using a watchdog chip. The hardware watchdog is to use a timer to monitor the main program of the operation, that is to say in the running process of the main program, we will in time before the timer is reset if the cycle of death, or that the PC pointer cannot come back. Then the timing will reset the microcontroller. Commonly used WDT chips, such as MAX813, 5045, IMP 813, etc., the price 4~10 yuan range The principle of the software watchdog technology and this almost, but is implemented by software, we still use 51 series, we know that there are two timers in the 51 SCM, we can use the two timer to run the main program monitor. We can set the timing time of T0, when when the timer interrupt is assigned to a variable, and the variable at the beginning of the main program has an initial value, time value of the running time should be less than the main program where we want to set, so the tail in the main program of variables the value of the expected value, if the changes that T0 interrupt normal, does not occur if the change program reset. For T1 we used to monitor
