If the watchdog is enabled and active, and we perform a soft reset,&nbsp;what&#39;s the behavior after reset? Is the watchdog still enabled and running during system initialization? Does 18.8 include the RUNSTATUS register?[/quote] <p>I agree. However, I did a quick test and verified that WDT is running and RUNSTATUS is set after a soft reset, which is the behavior I expected (is the reason we added reloading of WDT in our bootloader). So the watchdog will still be enabled and running during system initialization.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
