Its a kld that ties into the existing watchdog framework. Its version 1.0 but seems to work just fine. If you have a board with such a chip and are willing to try it out, let me know if it works, or if you think it should work but does not. Comments / suggestions for improvement welcome at freebsd-dev@sentex.net http://www.tancsa.com/itxwd1.0.tgz There is also a port version http://www.tancsa.com/watchdog/itxwd-port.tgz The board we developed it on is a Commwell Mini-ITX MB LV-667E8 and we used the existing ichwd driver as a template/framework. ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike
