Hey,
I'm busy writing a Ziatech 5503 watchdog driver for FreeBSD (and
porting all the watchdog stuff to DragonFly BSD) and Plan 9. For my
driver, I have no way to identify that the system has the driver, so
I wanted to make it conditional on
options ZT5503
existing in the kernel configuration file. I have a couple of
related questions:
1) Where in the tree should my zt5503wd.c file be placed?
2) Regarding watchdog.h; this device supports other times than those
provided from between 250MS to 256S. Hope nobody minds this changing
:).
3) To make sure I understand how this works:
o The device is compiled in / loaded
o watchdogd is used to tell the system to start the timer
o I get a bunch of flags in my eventhandler function's 2nd
argument that I can then use to write to my device's
registers with the proper information
The first and third questions are the most important, I think.
