I've not heard of any PC motherboard or embedded board with a feature like
this.   However, I have implemented this type of functionality in software.

Hi John, thanks for the reply.

I am looking at using the Minnowboard in an embedded environment. Other PCs
that I have used have a hardware Watchdog, which, when turned on, you are
required to poll at definable intervals. If you do not poll it quickly
enough (or stop polling, due to hung software), the PC will perform a hard
reset. Is this a feature of the Minnowboard, or likely to be incorporated in
future versions?

Thanks again for your help

Mike

What kind of watchdog are you looking for / need?  Just trying to figure out
what kind of watchdog you are looking for.
