I am building a prototype CentOS 6.4 Linux i386 system using a fit-PC2i "Value" (1.1 GHz Z510) to determine if it will be able to run our data acquisition software. I have built, installed and configured automated e-mail notifications for the following conditions: • Disk drive SMART errors (smartd s...

I grabbed the latest driver from https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kerne ... tpc2_wdt.c. That works fine.

Thank you.

That is pretty much exactly what I did to cure the problems. For CentOS 6.4, here's the sbc_fitpc2_wdt.c patch I used. Except, your latest code reverses the COMMAND_PORT and DATA_PORT output (a bug fix?), and adds a check for !brd_name (a good sanity check). --- linux-2.6.32-358.6.2.el6/drivers/watc...

Now that I have the hardware watchdog timer working, I enabled the Linux watchdog daemon. The system is extremely sluggish after that. From top, I see an extraordinary amount of system CPU time being used every time the watchdog daemon runs through its chores (every 10 seconds, by default). I have n...

The solution is almost what I suggested. You have to reverse the strings to use !strstr() in place of strcmp(). Here is the patch I used (CentOS 6.4 i386), which is good for any board name that contains "SBC-FITPC2", e.g., fit-PC2 or fit-PC2i. --- linux-2.6.32-358.6.2.el6/drivers/watchdog/sbc_fitpc2...

I am trying to use the hardware watchdog from CentOS 6.4 Linux. CentOS includes the kernel module, sbc_fitpc2_wdt.ko. But, when I load it, the device cannot be found. # modprobe sbc_fitpc2_wdt FATAL: Error inserting sbc_fitpc2_wdt (/lib/modules/2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.i686/kernel/drivers/watchdog/sbc_fit...

I see no mention of any IPMI features on the fit-PC2i. OpenIPMI on CentOS Linux probes for come common chips and comes up with nothing. I take this to mean there is no IPMI feature? What is the recommended method to monitor hardware health? I use smartd for disks. I plan to try mcelogd from source f...
