3.4.7.1 COP clocks
The multiple clock inputs for the COP are the 1 kHz clock and the bus clock.
3.4.7.2 COP watchdog operation
The COP watchdog is intended to force a system reset when the application software fails
to execute as expected. To prevent a system reset from the COP timer (when it is
enabled), the application software must reset the COP counter periodically. If the
application program gets lost and fails to reset the COP counter before it times out, a
system reset is generated to force the system back to a known starting point.
After any reset, the COP watchdog is enabled. If the COP watchdog is not used in an
application, it can be disabled by clearing SIM_COPCTRL[COPT].
