MCC Melody Deadman Timer Driver

Overview

The Deadman Timer (DMT) module is designed to enable users to monitor the health of their
application software by requiring periodic timer interrupts within a user-specified timing
window. DMT is a synchronous counter and when enabled, counts instruction
fetches, and is able to cause a soft trap if the DMT counter is not cleared within a set number
of instructions.

Features

* DMT can be enabled or disabled by the user, by default it is disabled.
* Option to configure DMT on Hardware or Software.
* Options to configure DMT Fetch Counter and DMT Window interval.
