This model provides both a GPIO interface and a Watchdog timer. Users can use
the GPIO and Watchdog APIs to configure and to access the GPIO interface and the
Watchdog timer. The GPIO has four input pins and four output pins. The Watchdog
timer can be set to 1~255 seconds. Setting the timer to zero disables the timer. The
remaining seconds of the timer to reboot can be read from the timer.
