Enable the hardware watchdog function of Raspberry Pi

Some time ago, cgminer was set to start when it was started. Due to various problems, the system was not very stable and it was stopped from time to time.

I checked it online, and Raspberry Pi immediately tried the hardware guard function, which basically solved my problem.

?

The principle is simple:

Watchdog requires heartbeat)

If no data is fed within the specified time period (15 seconds by default), the system restarts automatically.

?

However, it takes a second to eat a piece of bone without stopping. It's really not enough for a dog ~~~

?

The following is a script for enabling this function.

// Enable the module Sudo modprobe bcm2708_wdog Sudo nano/etc/modules // Add a row Bcm2708_wdog ? // Enable the Service Sudo bash apt-Get install watchdog chkconfig Chkconfig watchdog on/etc/init. d/watchdog start ? // Modify the configuration Sudo nano/etc/watchdog. conf // Remove the comments before the following line Watchdog-device =/dev/Watchdog

?

Raspberry Pi's Hardware Watchdog seems to be able to monitor the occurrence of various events, such as system temperature, memory usage, or ping command results.
