// Filename:    wbwatchdog.v

//

// Project:     Zip CPU -- a small, lightweight, RISC CPU soft core

//

// Purpose:     A Zip timer, redesigned to be a bus watchdog

//

//      This is a **really** stripped down Zip Timer.  All options for external

//      control have been removed.  This timer may be reset, and ... that's 

//      about it.  The goal is that this stripped down timer be used as a bus

//      watchdog element.  Even at that, it's not really fully featured.  The

//      rest of the important features can be found in the zipsystem module.

//

//      As a historical note, the wishbone watchdog timer began as a normal

//      timer, with some fixed inputs.  This makes sense, if you think about it:

//      if the goal is to interrupt a stalled wishbone transaction by inserting

//      a bus error, then you can't use the bus to set it up or configure it

//      simply because the bus in question is ... well, unreliable.  You're

//      trying to make it reliable.

//

//      The problem with using the ziptimer in a stripped down implementation

//      was that the fixed inputs caused the synthesis tool to complain about

//      the use of registers values would never change.  This solves that

//      problem by explicitly removing the cruft that would otherwise

//      just create synthesis warnings and errors.

//
