Hi Stefan,

I forgot to answer you to this email.
Guenter pointed out that in the previous implementation of the watchdog
there was a tiny period of time when the watchdog was disabled (during
pinging - disable, set timeout, enable) which made the system
vulnerable.
I therefore changed the watchdog to use 2 counters:
Counter 1 is the watchdog counter - on expiry, the system is reset.
Counter 0 is used to reset Counter 1 to start counting from the set
timeout again. So Counter 1 is set to be reset on Counter 0 expiry
event and pinging is done by forcing immediate expiry event on Counter
0.

Marek
