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 routine, even if the Watchdog is not in use.
The following code example shows one assembly and one C function for changing the time-out
value of the Watchdog Timer.
Note:
Note: The Watchdog Timer should be reset before any change of the WDP bits, since a change
in the WDP bits can result in a time-out when switching to a shorter time-out period.

1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.
r16, WDTCSR
r16, (1<<WDCE) | (1<<WDE)
WDTCSR, r16
Got four cycles to set the new values from here -
r16, (1<<WDE) | (1<<WDP2) | (1<<WDP0)
WDTCSR, r16
Finished setting new values, used 2 cycles -
= (1<<WDE) | (1<<WDP2) | (1<<WDP0);
