to prevent errors during boot up by performing a
reset.

Selects the operating mode of the runtime
watchdog.
This watchdog will be initialized just before the
operating system starts booting.
If set to One time trigger the watchdog will be
disabled after the first trigger.
If set to Single event, every stage will be exe-
cuted only once, then the watchdog will be dis-
abled.
If set to Repeated event the last stage will be
executed repeatedly until a reset occurs.
