-II. Watchdog support
+III. Watchdog support
For security reasons, the at91 watchdog is running at boot time and,
if deactivated, cannot be used anymore.
your code (make sure not to disable it in AT91Bootstrap for instance).
In the U-Boot configuration, the AT91 watchdog support is enabled using
- the CONFIG_AT91SAM9_WATCHDOG and CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG options.
+ the CONFIG_WDT and CONFIG_WDT_AT91 options.
