Solaris Express Developer Edition What's New

SPARC: ntwdt Driver for UltraSPARC-T1 (Niagara) Systems

This driver enhancement is new in the Developer 5/07 release.

Starting with release, there is a user-programmable watchdog timer on sun4v platforms that supports backward compatibility. The user can manipulate the Application Watchdog Timer through IOCTLs provided by the backward compatible ntwdt pseudo driver.
