Hi,

I'm trying to get the watchdog driver to run in my kernel configuration but it's not there. Help in menconfig for the watchdog device driver is quite clear. I have enabled these 3 options:

CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT=y
CONFIG_AT91SAM9X_WATCHDOG=y

Evidently, based on the above, I should be able to see this string in my bootup output at some point if the driver is there:

"AT91 Watchdog Timer enabled"

But I don't!!

Module support is turned off.

Could there be another conflicting option that prevents support for the watchdog? The reason why I ask is that I have observed the above bootup message claiming support for the the watchdog driver before, but now I don't. I didn't chase this problem before because I was chasing another issue, several issues ago.

Any help would be appreciated.

The boot.bin file that is usually supplied has the watchdog turned off. I had to compile ny own version of the boot file that does not shut the watchdog off.
