Watchdog Test Program Installation Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unzip files in 8260wdt.zip in your c:\ directory
2. In target designer install component
   c:\NTEmbedded\KDFs\8260watchdog\8260wdttest.kdf
3. Add component Applications\MBARI\Watchdog
4. Add component System\Devices\Generic IO Driver\TinyPort
5. Build and install target image
6. Power-off embedded system
7. Pull out SBC8260VE card, short pins 2-3 on jumber JP3
8. Put SBC8260VE card back in and power-on embedded system
9. Run c:\watchdog\8260wdttest.exe, select option 4

If you see the message: 
"Error : couldn't open port, err code:(2)",

This is OK. It takes a few seconds to initialize the TinyPort I/O 
driver, during which time the port is locked and this message is 
generated.

To test the watchdog, hit any key in the MS-DOS window to
kill to watchdog program. 

Respond with NO, to the message box "WARNING: System will reset 
or send NMI in 30 seconds or less. Do you want to disable the 
watchdog?". (In the future, you may want to respond YES here to 
disable the watchdog and avoid a system reset.)

Wait up to 30 seconds. The watchdog timer should reset the CPU. 
If your system reboots, your watchdog is configured correctly. 
If not, try rebooting and trying again.
