Computer Operating Properly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In embedded systems, a Computer Operating Properly counter is a counter that causes a system reset if it is allowed to overflow. COP counters help a system recover from malfunctioning code by reseting the device if the counter is not cleared by software at a regular interval.
Also known as a Watchdog Timer.
