I'm building a system that's relying as much as possible on stock parts, so custom kernel modules and hacking is something I'd like to avoid. I'm not going to be around forever to keep the system going, or to continually work on ways of deploying an old hack on a new install.
I know *you* do have better contributions to make, but a watchdog driver is AFAIK about knowing what byte to write to what IO port to set, reset and query the timeout, and possibly configure what the watchdog does when the timer expires without updates. This info might be gleaned from Linux and BSD drivers for different watchdog chips. I think it might be a useful project for a student to make. Possibly too low-profile for a GSoC, but good to learn about driver development, porting code, etc. And quite useful for the community ;) As a result of such a project, we'd get one more kernel-hacker ;) //Jim _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
