From e05b59fe7927bc648ac3af3d59dc64a7ee6b22e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Minyard Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 22:40:53 +0200 Subject: [WATCHDOG] Pre-Timeout flags Some watchdog timers support the concept of a "pretimeout" which occurs some time before the real timeout. The pretimeout can be delivered via an interrupt or NMI and can be used to panic the system when it occurs (so you get useful information instead of a blind reboot).
