But it + does not also call hw_watchdog_init. Boards which want this + enabled must call this function in their board file. This split + is useful because some rom's enable the watchdog when downloading + new code, so it must be serviced, but the board would rather it + was off. And, it cannot always be turned off once on. + +CONFIG_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT_MSECS + Can be used to change the timeout for i.mx31/35/5x/6x. + If not given, will default to maximum timeout. This would + be 128000 msec for i.mx31/35/5x/6x. + +CONFIG_AT91SAM9_WATCHDOG + Available for AT91SAM9 to service the watchdog. + +CONFIG_FTWDT010_WATCHDOG + Available for FTWDT010 to service the watchdog. + +CONFIG_FTWDT010_HW_TIMEOUT + Can be used to change the timeout for FTWDT010. + +CONFIG_IMX_WATCHDOG + Available for i.mx31/35/5x/6x to service the watchdog. This is not + automatically set because some boards (vision2) still need to define + their own hw_watchdog_reset routine. |
