Of course. But it will not be easy to do if you want to watch multiple
threads. Because the hardware watchdog is very binary. If any thread
were to kick the watchdog, it will not do a reset. So if one thread is
hung, but others still run, your hardware watchdog will not do what
you want, possibly.
I have using an approach in the past where each thread indicates that it
wants to reset the watchdog (by, say, setting a bit in a global bitset
or sending a messages to a "master" thread). The hardware is not
actually reset until all participating threads have requested the
reset. If one thread hangs, there is no reset and the watchdog will
expire. You an also see which thread was the culprit.
