Hi,
So sorry if my expression is not meaninful... ,I want to write a module for watchdog's NMI,it can reboot automatically while my program lose control,so I think I need a device driver module,while NMI interrupt,it can start this module and the module can reboot at once.I think I need to know how to write NMI module and the function of reboot.

Thanks for your response,

Best regard,
Michael
