SuperIO Function Library
This section describes use of the SuperIO (SIO) function library for the EGW-3200. The SIO function library includes the
watchdog timer function and the hardware monitor function. The watchdog timer is a hardware mechanism provided to reset
the system if the operating system or an application stalls. After starting, the watchdog timer in the application must be
periodically reset before the timer expires. Once the watchdog timer expires, a hardware-generated signal is sent to reset the
system. The hardware monitor is a mechanism provided to collect the wide range of information related to hardware health,
including CPU temperature, board temperature, and various voltage values.
