timer interrupt handler in blob

[Abraham vd M. <ab...@2d...>]

Hi!

I have a watchdog on my board which needs to be strobed at least every
500ms, otherwise it resets the board. Therefore I need to use a timer
interrupt. I have a couple of questions to ask though:

1) Interrupts are disabled in blob at the moment right? So I won't be
interfering with something else if I setup an interrupt handler?

2) If I setup an interrupt handler, then I obviously need to uninstall the
interrupt handler (or at least disable interrupts) before I load the kernel
(or anything else for that matter). Where is the best/least intrusive place
to do that in blob?
