239 | GETSUPPORT returns the watchdog_info struct, and | ||
240 | GETSTATUS returns the supported options. GETBOOTSTATUS | ||
241 | returns a 1 if the last reset was caused by the | ||
242 | watchdog and a 0 otherwise. This watchdog can not be | ||
243 | disabled once it has been started. The wdt_period kernel | ||
244 | parameter selects which bit of the time base changing | ||
245 | from 0->1 will trigger the watchdog exception. Changing | ||
246 | the timeout from the ioctl calls will change the | ||
247 | wdt_period as defined above. Finally if you would like to | ||
248 | replace the default Watchdog Handler you can implement the | ||
249 | WatchdogHandler() function in your own code. | ||
