Hi All,
We are considering using a Raspberry Pi as an SBC for an industrial application. The device must run 24/7 at a remote location.
When using embedded systems for critical applications, we usually enable a watchdog timer, so in case of a major application failure the embedded system reboots.
I was wondering if the same can be done with the PI.
I read few articles where the watchdog is enabled at system level, but I was unable to find anything on how to fully control the watchdog timer by the single application we are planning to run. The application should be able to prime the watchdog timer and strobe it independently from the system.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks
