1. Need to install UpFrameworkSetup.msi
2. Refer to the link below to build the program
   https://github.com/aaeonaeu/win-demo-apps/tree/master/UPEapiTool/WDT
3. Open cmd, the usage can be referred to below

WDT.exe start <timeout>

• Set the watchdog timeout and Start Watchdog
  

WDT.exe stop

• Stop the Watchdog
  

WDT.exe reload

• Reload Watchdog Timer
  

WDT.exe gettimeout

• Get the current timeout
  

Watchdog module is enabled by default for UP Squared with BIOS 4.6 or newer and UP Core Plus with BIOS 1.5 or newer.

the other boards you have to check BIOS "CRB setup" -> "CRB Advanced" -> "PCH-IO Configuration" -> "Enable TCO Timer" -> [Enabled]

Note: At the moment the iTCO Watchdog is using the standard WDAT driver with the Ubuntu, future versions of the kernel will enable the iTCO driver and use that instead.

First, load the WDAT module to enable the watchdog device:

sudo modprobe wdat_wdt

or add auto load module when OS boot

sudo sh -c 'echo wdat_wdt >> /etc/modules'

Then, you can define your timeout for halting the system. Otherwise, 30 seconds will be set by default:

sudo wdctl -s 10

you will see which device number has been set

Finally, write to the watchdog device and wait until the board reboot:

echo 1 | sudo tee /dev/watchdog

or

echo 1 | sudo tee /dev/watchdog0

Reload timer counter just repeat above "echo 1" command.
