21 * Added nowayout module option to override CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
22 * Can't add timeout - driver doesn't allow changing value
26 * Theory of Operation:
27 * The Watch-Dog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone
28 * Systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that
29 * caused the CPU to crash. This condition may have occured by
30 * external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working
31 * correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware
32 * reset (cold boot) or a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to bring the
33 * system back to a known state.
35 * The Watch-Dog Timer is controlled by two I/O Ports.
36 * 443 hex - Read - Enable or refresh the Watch-Dog Timer
37 * 043 hex - Read - Disable the Watch-Dog Timer
39 * To enable the Watch-Dog Timer, a read from I/O port 443h must
40 * be performed. This will enable and activate the countdown timer
41 * which will eventually time out and either reset the CPU or cause
42 * an NMI depending on the setting of a jumper. To ensure that this
43 * reset condition does not occur, the Watch-Dog Timer must be
44 * periodically refreshed by reading the same I/O port 443h.
45 * The Watch-Dog Timer is disabled by reading I/O port 043h.
47 * The Watch-Dog Timer Time-Out Period is set via jumpers.
48 * It can be 1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 220 seconds.
