While I'm going to try that for the RZ/A1, I have a question for you guys
(or anyone else that has an opinion about end applications)


If I were going to make a request to the chip designers to make the timeout longer
for the next RZ/A chip, what would be a good max timeout for common Linux applications?

Looking through the drivers in the watchdog directly, I see default timeouts of 20,
30, 60, and 120 seconds.

Thank you,
Chris
