Re: ixp425 watchdog timer


interestingly same doc mentions status as fixed ?? -;)

I have asked my hardware engineer to check ,
but can u give me more detail on what the issue was, (if it was apart
from the logical flaw which is there as discussed in list) .. doc
doesnt mentions on what was the problem.

Cheers,
Alfred
