8.6. SD Card
SD card is designed to be mounted automatically. When a SD card is inserted into the SD card slot, there will be
directory on /var/sd. The mount point will be removed when the SD card is removed.
8.7. Combine WDT Into Your Program
DNI data collector provides a watchdog timer which has a 32- bit down counter with a programmable timeout value.
On timeout it generates an interrupt and reset signal. The WDT is intended to be used to generate a system reset if a
software failure (or a system hang) occurs. The WDT driver provides a set of ioctls to the user. Through this interface
user can configure, program and refresh the WDT. The device node of WDT is /dev/watchdog. The following code
snippets demonstrate how to use the WDT.
To open the WDT interface:
To control the WDT and set the timeout as 45 seconds:

The WDT interface IOCTL options:
IOCTL Code
Usages
WDIOC_GETSUPPORT
The fields returned in the ident structure are:
identity: A string identifying the watchdog driver firmware_version: the firmware
version of the card if available.
options: A flags describing what the device supports.
WDIOC_KEEPALIVE
This ioctl does exactly the same thing as a write to the watchdog device and hence
refreshes the timer
WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT
Set time out in seconds, after which reset would be generated (if WDT is not
refreshed)
WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT
Query the current timeout
