watchdog in lite5200

watchdog in lite5200

[iida]

i am tring to use the watchdog in a lite5200
In menuconfig , i find the watchdog in char devices
but none of the cotrolers is for internal watchdog of mpc5200
In 5xxx/IO dont appear to show a driver for internal watchdog either.

So i have to develop the driver for watchdog in mpc5200 ?
thanks

No. Check out the recent version from our CVS  tree.  It  contains  a
powerful  watchdog driver. For a documentation of the API, please see
Documentation/man4/wdt_mpc8xx.4

Hi Wolfgang,

I checked out the driver and I'm wondering about the licence. From
what I can see in the header, it's NON-GPL - simply a mistake?

Ciao,

Oops. Sorry.

Fixed.

Of course it's GPL.
