Hi Everyone,
I work for a government agency so please forgive me for not having the
latest version of the kernel. My question concerns an Advantech card PCI
6870 Single Board Computer and its watchdog timer. I am running Redhat 9
linux 2.4.20-8 and it comes with module that supports the hardware
advantechwdt.o. I have been able install and communicate with the card.
Get and set the timeout or margin and get the support information of the
card. Everything seems to work except when i deliberately delay the ping
to the card to let it reboot the system as a watchdog should it does not
reboot. Is there something i am missing. Do i need a update to the
driver? I am attaching the code. It is fairly simple and a lot of it is
just reading and writing information read from the driver about the
card. I would appreciate any help.
