[Gumstix-users] Watchdog

[rketcham <Ric...@gm...>]

Hello,
I've installed the watchdog timer module by giving the command:

modprobe sa1100_wdt

Beside using:

echo > /dev/watchdog

I have been unable to make the Gumstix reset.  I even wrote a python script
that executes an infinite while loop and the board still doesn't reset.

#/usr/bin/python

import string

while(True):
        pass

Could someone explain to me how watchdog works and what would trip it?

Thanks, 
Rich
