[Soekris] Hardware watchdog timer 4526

[abhimanyu gosain]

Hi
 Well sorry for the confusion.I am using the soekris 4826 board and based on what i found i should be using the sc1200wdt watchdog module.This module requires as its input a index register port number which as i understand is device specific but i cannot find it.
 Does anyone have experience of using the sc1200 on the 4826 board.??
 Thanks
 Abhimanyu

Hi
I have been trying to configure the hardware watchdog timer on the soekris
4526 and havenot been able to get it to work.As far as i have read the
timer is built in with the geode processor so it should have shown up on 
the
harware configuration.


Have anyone of you gotten the timer to work.If so,Please share your
experiences.
 



Depending on your kernel the following may be relevant:

Are there patches for {Free,Open}BSD anywghere ? Or does it "just work" on these
platforms ?


It works just fine for me on FreeBSD, watchdog simply does not reset the timer when the kernel goes awry, or if you use the -e option, you have rather limitless possibilities of what is required to consider the system in a "good" state.
