Watchdog

Overview⚓︎

The reference systems of all our platforms come with a standard Linux watchdog that is disabled by default.

To enable this watchdog, simply write to it as follows:

echo 1 > /dev/watchdog

This command starts the watchdog timer. If the watchdog is not "fed" again within 60 seconds, the system will reboot. To keep the system running, you must "feed" it periodically by writing to /dev/watchdog before the timeout expires.
