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
<file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt> in the kernel source.
The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
which is available from
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. 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.

that this driver does what you want is to make sure you
are running it on an EPX-C3 from Winsystems with the watchdog

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 <http://www.berkprod.com/pci_pc_watchdog.htm>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called pcwd_pci.
Most people will say N.

If you have a PCI-WDT500/501 watchdog board, say Y here, otherwise N.

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.
