.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd device ichwd
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This driver provides access to the watchdog timer (WDT) present on all
|
|
Intel ICH chipsets.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The ICH WDT counts down in ticks of approximately 0.6 seconds; the
|
|
exact value depends on hardware quality and environmental factors.
|
|
Supported watchdog intervals range from 2 to 63 ticks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that on some ICH-based systems, the WDT may be present but
|
|
disabled, either in hardware or by the BIOS.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver attempts to detect this condition and will refuse to attach if
|
|
it believes the WDT is disabled.
