The two compare blocks are one for the counter half full, and one for the counter overflow.
The half full counter interrupt is intended to give advance warning that something is wrong with program execution. If the interrupt function is still working, it can be used to start a recovery operation.
The counter overflow can also be used just as an interrupt, or it can be configured to reset the CPU.
The configuration is relatively simple, and can be understood from Section 11.22.15.
Note that the Watchdog Wake Event is another name for the Half Compare Event.
The only special bit is the Protect bit.
