Thanks for your help. The key understanding is that the watch dog starts right away after loading the hm2_pci driver.
This fixed one problem. The other problem I already found in my hal file. I was missing the addf motion-command-handler and motion-controller. John Figie -Sebastian Kuzminsky wrote: Here's how the hostmot2 watchdog currently works. When the hm2_pci driver is first loaded, the card and firmware are reset to a sane starting state, the watchdog timeout is initialized to 1 second, and the watchdog timer starts ticking. If the pet-watchdog function is not run before the timer expires, the watchdog bites. The only way that the pet-watchdog function can run is if you add it to a thread (with "addf") and start the threads running (with "start"). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
