Note:
Note: If the Watchdog is accidentally enabled, for example by a runaway pointer or
brown-out condition, the device will be reset and the Watchdog Timer will stay enabled.
If the code is not set up to handle the Watchdog, this might lead to an eternal loop of
time-out resets. To avoid this situation, the application software should always clear the
Watchdog System Reset Flag (WDRF) and the WDE control bit in the initialisation rou-
tine, even if the Watchdog is not in use.
