Buzzer
The device node is located at /dev/console. UC-7408 supports Linux standard buzzer control, with
UC-7408’s buzzer running at a fixed frequency of 100 Hz. You must
include <sys/kd.h> .
1. Function: KDMKTONE
ioctl(fd, KDMKTONE, unsigned int arg);
Description: The buzzer’s behavior is determined by the argument arg . The “high word” part
of arg gives the length of time the buzzer will sound, and the “low word” part gives the
frequency.
The buzzer’s on / off behavior is controlled by software. If you call the “ioctl” function, you
MUST set the frequency at 100 Hz. If you use a different frequency, the system could crash.
WDT (Watch Dog Timer)
1. Introduction
The WDT works like a watch dog function. You can enable it or disable it. When the user
enables WDT but the application does not acknowledge it, the system will reboot. You can set
the ack time from a minimum of 50 msec to a maximum of 60 seconds.
2. How the WDT works
The sWatchDog is enabled when the system boots up. The kernel will auto ack it. The user
application can also enable ack. When the user does not ack, it will let the system reboot.

3. The user API
The user application must
include <moxadevic.h> , and link moxalib.a . A makefile
example is shown below:

mxscaleb-gcc –o xxxx xxxx.c -lmoxalib
int swtd_open(void)
Description
Open the file handle to control the sWatchDog. If you want to do something you must
first to this. And keep the file handle to do other.
Input
None
Output
The return value is file handle. If has some error, it will return < 0 value.
