# # Watchdog device configuration # menuconfig WATCHDOG bool "Watchdog Timer Support" ---help--- If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.: subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside your computer. For details, read in the kernel source. The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon which is available from . This daemon can also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process table is full. If unsure, say N. if WATCHDOG config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT bool "Disable watchdog shutdown on close" help The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once it has been started. # # General Watchdog drivers # comment "Watchdog Device Drivers" # Architecture Independent config SOFT_WATCHDOG tristate "Software watchdog" help A software monitoring watchdog.

It is not possible to probe for this board, which means that you have to inform the kernel about the IO port and IRQ that is needed (you can do this via the io and irq parameters) To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called wdt. # # PCI-based Watchdog Cards # comment "PCI-based Watchdog Cards" depends on PCI config PCIPCWATCHDOG tristate "Berkshire Products PCI-PC Watchdog" depends on PCI ---help--- This is the driver for the Berkshire Products PCI-PC Watchdog card. This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze, and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of time. The card can also monitor the internal temperature of the PC. More info is available at . To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called pcwd_pci. Most people will say N. config WDTPCI tristate "PCI-WDT500/501 Watchdog timer" depends on PCI ---help--- If you have a PCI-WDT500/501 watchdog board, say Y here, otherwise N. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called wdt_pci. config WDT_501_PCI bool "PCI-WDT501 features" depends on WDTPCI help Saying Y here and creating a character special file /dev/temperature with major number 10 and minor number 131 ("man mknod") will give you a thermometer inside your computer: reading from /dev/temperature yields one byte, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. This works only if you have a PCI-WDT501 watchdog board installed. If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the PCI-WDT501, then you can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a fan tachometer actually set up. # # USB-based Watchdog Cards # comment "USB-based Watchdog Cards" depends on USB config USBPCWATCHDOG tristate "Berkshire Products USB-PC Watchdog" depends on USB ---help--- This is the driver for the Berkshire Products USB-PC Watchdog card.
