[MinnowBoard] MinnowBoard Turbot Watchdog

[Ken Tait]

Michael,

I agree with this assessment, I would not add any such capabilities to 
the firmware, too many avenues for failure.

Any physical hardware watchdog needs to be able to be shut down by a 
hardware jumper, otherwise debugging code is not possible...
I've encountered this issue many times in the past.

Sounds to me like you need a separate embedded cpu monitoring your 
problem and have it push the reset button....Not most elegant, but clean 
and portable.
