7 bool "Watchdog Timer Support"
9 If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
10 character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
11 number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
12 subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
13 longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
14 could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
15 on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
16 implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
17 reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
18 are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
19 your computer. For details, read
20 <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt> in the kernel source.
22 The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
23 which is available from
24 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can
25 also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process

40 config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
41 bool "Disable watchdog shutdown on close"
43 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is

46 get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once

771 It`s possible to enable watchdog timer either from BIOS (F2) or from booted Linux.
772 When "Watchdog Timer Value" enabled one can set 31-255 s operational range.
774 Entering BIOS setup temporary disables watchdog operation regardless to current state,
775 so system will not be restarted while user in BIOS setup.
777 Once watchdog was enabled the system will be restarted every
778 "Watchdog Timer Value" period, so to prevent it user can restart or
779 disable the watchdog.

1555 Sun Microsystems CompactPCI models CP1400 and CP1500.
1557 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1558 module will be called cpwatchdog.
1560 If you do not have a CompactPCI model CP1400 or CP1500, or
1561 another UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine boardset with hardware watchdog,
1562 you should say N to this option.
1565 tristate "RIO Hardware Watchdog support"
1566 depends on SPARC64 && PCI
1568 Say Y here to support the hardware watchdog capability on Sun RIO
1569 machines. The watchdog timeout period is normally one minute but
1570 can be changed with a boot-time parameter.
1572 config WATCHDOG_SUN4V
1573 tristate "Sun4v Watchdog support"
1574 select WATCHDOG_CORE
1577 Say Y here to support the hypervisor watchdog capability embedded
1578 in the SPARC sun4v architecture.
1580 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
1581 be called sun4v_wdt.
1583 # XTENSA Architecture
1588 tristate "Xen Watchdog support"
1591 Say Y here to support the hypervisor watchdog capability provided
1592 by Xen 4.0 and newer. The watchdog timeout period is normally one

1607 tristate "Berkshire Products ISA-PC Watchdog"
1610 This is the driver for the Berkshire Products ISA-PC Watchdog card.
1611 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
1612 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
1613 time. This driver is like the WDT501 driver but for different
1614 hardware. Please read <file:Documentation/watchdog/pcwd-watchdog.txt>. The PC
1615 watchdog cards can be ordered from <http://www.berkprod.com/>.
1617 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1618 module will be called pcwd.
1620 Most people will say N.
1623 tristate "Mixcom Watchdog"
1626 This is a driver for the Mixcom hardware watchdog cards. This
1627 watchdog simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
1628 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
1631 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1632 module will be called mixcomwd.
1634 Most people will say N.
1637 tristate "WDT Watchdog timer"
1640 If you have a WDT500P or WDT501P watchdog board, say Y here,
1641 otherwise N. It is not possible to probe for this board, which means
1642 that you have to inform the kernel about the IO port and IRQ that
1643 is needed (you can do this via the io and irq parameters)
1645 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1646 module will be called wdt.

1655 config PCIPCWATCHDOG
1656 tristate "Berkshire Products PCI-PC Watchdog"
1659 This is the driver for the Berkshire Products PCI-PC Watchdog card.
1660 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
1661 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
1662 time. The card can also monitor the internal temperature of the PC.
1663 More info is available at <http://www.berkprod.com/pci_pc_watchdog.htm>.

1666 module will be called pcwd_pci.
1668 Most people will say N.
1671 tristate "PCI-WDT500/501 Watchdog timer"
1674 If you have a PCI-WDT500/501 watchdog board, say Y here, otherwise N.
1676 If you have a PCI-WDT501 watchdog board then you can enable the
1677 temperature sensor by setting the type parameter to 501.
1679 If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the PCI-WDT501, then you
1680 can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a
1681 fan tachometer actually set up.

1698 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
1699 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
1700 time. The card can also monitor the internal temperature of the PC.
