   If you are familiar with Linux kernel, two set of API exist:
   timer: http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-7-sect-4.shtml
   hrtimer: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/timers/hrtimers.html
   NuttX's wdog is same as Linux's timer from the concept.
   If you want to achieve the accuracy as the hardware, the solution I suggest 
is:
   
   1. Implement the high resolution timer like Linux kernel
   2. Implement wdog on top of hrtimer(then you will understand what I said in 
this thread).
   3. Implement POSIX timer and timer fd on top of hrtimer
   
   This is exactly how Linux kernel switch from the tick resolution to the high 
resolution.
   Before this huge work is done, the fast fix is set CONFIG_USEC_PER_TICK to 
the accuracy you want. Of course, you need to enable 
tickless(CONFIG_SCHED_TICKLESS) to reduce the schedule timer interrupt loading.
