attiny-wdt: Turn an ATtiny9 uC into a watchdog for another processor
The ATtiny9 is a small, ultra low cost microcontroller available in SOT-23 package. It is lower cost (and currently better available) than dedicated hardware watchdog ICs.
So this project turns the ATtiny9 into a very simple "hardware watchdog IC" for another processor/CPU.
The watchdog starts counting immediately from power-on and will trigger a reset of the target system after 67s, unless the target system keeps refreshing the watchdog via a low edge on another signal.
Status
The code was written against the data sheet and compiles but has currently not been tested yet with real ATtiny9 hardware.
