Hi,

I would like to activate the watchdog in the beagle.

I recompiled the beagle with the flag watchdog software. but how can i activate the flag CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT ???

Thx,

To get the hardware watchdog working (on Debian) I just installed the watchdog package (sudo apt-get install watchdog), then set the correct device in the config file: in ‘/etc/watchdog.conf’ set ‘watchdog-device = /dev/watchdog’

I’m fairly certain that’s all I needed to do.

I just installed the package :

insserv: warning: script ‘K01script-initd-’ missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script ‘script-initd-’ missing LSB tags and overrides

… I hope that it’s ok

I have done this months ago, and very useful.

this is under kernel config, .config file,

so:
make menuconfig ARCH=arm

search for nowayout

│ Symbol: WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT [=n] │
│ Type : boolean │
│ Prompt: Disable watchdog shutdown on close │
│ Defined at drivers/watchdog/Kconfig:39 │
│ Depends on: WATCHDOG [=y] │
│ Location: │
│ → Device Drivers │
│ → Watchdog Timer Support (WATCHDOG [=y])

u need to change it to enable and recompile the kernel. good luck
