Hi !

Has anyone managed to get an app working, which
triggers the watchdog, included in the MOPS series of PC104 Boards from
Jumptec ?

I believe, this must be only some lines of code, since only a few bytes
will be written
into an io section.

Has anyone get something similar work ?

Greetings

You can use /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/acquirewdt.c as a starting point
for a watchdog driver. Just change the IO addresses and switch from
reading bytes to writing bytes.

I've done it for the CI7BM SBC, using the method described above. You
can get the patch at http://fit.gmd.de/~cactus/ci7bm.patch. This has
been working for some weeks now, both as a module and compiled-in code.

Maybe someone should generalize this driver, so that the io-adresses and
the update method (reading or writing) can be given as a parameter at
kernel configuration time.

Bye, Roland
