I have core/words/wdr.asm included and I can keep the watchdog reset at bay by regularly calling wdr. The problem comes when I simulate my application hanging - i.e when wdr doesn't get called. Obviously to be a useful watchdog, what needs to happen is that the device resets and starts running the application from the start again, but what's happening instead is that it just goes into an endless loop, rebooting before it's finished its 'amforth' startup message. My watchdog timeout is 8 seconds - much longer than this. Hence I'm wondering if the watchdog condition has to be cleared manually on reset.
