Abstract
A processing device, comprising one or more functional units and a hardware-serviced watchdog timer connected to the functional units is described. The functional units are capable of generating service events which are hardware events of said one or more functional units. The functional units are arranged to generate the signals in response to an application executed on the processing device and making use of the functionality thereof. The watchdog timer is arranged to start a new timeout period in response to any one of said signals. The service events may include, for example, a start or an end of a data transfer operation to or from one of the functional units.
