+Builtin watchdog
+----------------
+
+The builtin watchdog will supervise the bootloader startup. If anything
+goes wrong it will reset the board and boot into the failsafe bootloader.
+
+Once the bootloader is started successfully, it will disable the watchdog
+timer.
+
+wdt command flags
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The `wdt start` as well as the `wdt expire` command take a flags argument.
+The supported bitmask is as follows.
+
+| Bit | Description                   |
+| --- | ----------------------------- |
+|   0 | Enable failsafe mode          |
+|   1 | Lock the control register     |
+|   2 | Disable board reset           |
+|   3 | Enable WDT_TIME_OUT# line     |
+
+For example, you can use `wdt expire 1` to issue a reset and boot into the
+failsafe bootloader.
+
+Disable the builtin watchdog
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If for some reason, this isn't a desired behavior, the watchdog can also
+be configured to not be enabled on board reset. It's configuration is saved
+in the non-volatile board configuration bits. To change these you can use
+the `sl28 nvm` command.
+
+For more information on the non-volatile board configuration bits, see the
+following section.
