Watchdog time-out pin

For external control purposes, the status of the watchdog time-out event is provided to connector
J11 pin 9. This signal goes high when the watchdog resets the system. The software can reset
this signal by setting and resetting bit 2 of the I/O port 110h. This signal is also initialized by
hardware at power-on.

The following example shows how to reset the watchdog time-out pin:

MOV

OR
