6 bool "Watchdog Timer Support"
7 ---help---
8 If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
9 character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
10 number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
11 subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
12 longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
13 could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
e0845bf4 14 on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
1da177e4
LT
15 implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
16 reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
17 are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
e403149c
DH
18 your computer. For details, read
19 <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt> in the kernel source.

21 The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
22 which is available from
23 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can
24 also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process
25 table is full.

33 ---help---
34 Say Y here if you want to use the new watchdog timer driver core.
35 This driver provides a framework for all watchdog timer drivers
36 and gives them the /dev/watchdog interface (and later also the
37 sysfs interface).
38
39 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
40 be called watchdog.

44 help
45 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
46 to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
47 /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
48 get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once
49 it has been started.

470 This is the driver for the hardware watchdog built in to the
471 AMD "Elan" SC520 microcomputer commonly used in embedded systems.
472 This watchdog simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't
473 freeze, and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain
474 amount of time.
475
476 You can compile this driver directly into the kernel, or use
477 it as a module. The module will be called sc520_wdt.

486 It`s possible to enable watchdog timer either from BIOS (F2) or from booted Linux.
487 When "Watchdog Timer Value" enabled one can set 31-255 s operational range.
488
489 Entering BIOS setup temporary disables watchdog operation regardless to current state,
490 so system will not be restarted while user in BIOS setup.
491
492 Once watchdog was enabled the system will be restarted every
493 "Watchdog Timer Value" period, so to prevent it user can restart or
494 disable the watchdog.
