Update: The kernel watchdog driver support tuning the timout through ioctl
calls. A quick and dirty bit of C code:
int main()
{
int fd = open("/dev/watchdog", O_WRONLY);
int timeout = 5;
ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT, &timeout);
printf("Setting timeout to %d seconds\n", timeout);
close(fd);
return 0;
}
Will tune the watchdog. I use node.js' child_process to call the above code
(when compiled, obviously), if my node.js app crashes then the BBB will
reboot. Perfect
