kernel 2.6.32-rc1

Post by HotblackDesiato »

I just had a look on the first release candidate of the upcoming kernel 2.6.32.

It now includes the wlan driver rt3090 needed for the fit-pc2 in the staging area. Still no psb/drm support in the kernel.

It also includes the following new watchdog driver:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_SBC_FITPC2_WATCHDOG:

This is the driver for the built-in watchdog timer on the fit-PC2
Single-board computer made by Compulab.

It`s possible to enable watchdog timer either from BIOS (F2) or from booted Linux.
When "Watchdog Timer Value" enabled one can set 31-255 s operational range.

Entering BIOS setup temporary disables watchdog operation regardless to current state,
so system will not be restarted while user in BIOS setup.

Once watchdog was enabled the system will be restarted every
"Watchdog Timer Value" period, so to prevent it user can restart or
disable the watchdog.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called sbc_fitpc2_wdt.

Most people will say N.

Symbol: SBC_FITPC2_WATCHDOG [=n]
Prompt: Compulab SBC-FITPC2 watchdog
Defined at drivers/watchdog/Kconfig:395
Depends on: WATCHDOG [=y] && X86 [=y]
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Watchdog Timer Support (WATCHDOG [=y])
Interesting...
