Yes, the processor has a built-in watchdog, which is supported by the
linux kernel. Assuming there is a global system madness, it should
reboot fine after a while, if the watchdog is activated. I think all you
have to do is to load a kernel module, but I'll check it later. Perhaps
this module isn't included in the default gumstix's kernel, I'm sure I
included on one I compiled by hand.
