How do you adjust timeout period of the watchdog timer?

To adjust the timeout period of a watchdog timer, you typically need to configure the appropriate registers in the microcontroller or system's hardware. This is often done in the initialization code or setup routines, where you specify the desired timeout duration, usually in milliseconds or seconds, depending on the system architecture. Make sure to consult the specific documentation for your hardware, as the method and available options can vary significantly between different devices. After making the changes, ensure that the watchdog timer is properly restarted within the new timeout period to avoid unexpected resets.
