I talked about URSTEN bit in RSTC_MR (Reset Controller Mode Register;
p99 in at91sam9g20 datasheet). The URSTEN bit set to 1 means disable low
level detection on NRST pin. Which in fact disables external reset with
the reset key. One have to check if this is true or maybe I'm wrong here.

WATCHDOG_RESET();

Error messages should not use debug macro.

For timeout stuff you could also use get_timer(0) to get current
timestamp and compare against another timestamp.

Yes, just a new version (v2), it is still arrived, will have a look then.
