      in pfsense 2.1 I was able to get watchdogd working by..

      1. adding the ichwd.ko file from here
        http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ko-8.3/amd64/

      2. enabling ichwd in /etc/loaders.conf.local

      3. adding this command to the shellcmd plugin

      service watchdogd onestart

      with 2.2

      1. .ko files aren't posted yet
      2. the watchdogd init script doesn't exist in /etc/rc.d/

      here's my questions…

      • can I just grab the ko file from a running freebsd-10.1-amd64 system?

      • why was the watchdogd init script removed?

      • is Advanced > System Tuneables equivalent to loader.conf? can I just add enabling the driver there?

      • do you ever plan on making this built in? with freenas, I didn't have to do squat. the OS noticed I had the chipset, enabled the driver, and started the service.

      #####EDIT#####

      I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong, is the watchdog module even the chipset one in my pfsense box?
      A1SRM-2558F
      Enabling watchdog in the bios makes my box shutdown after a few minutes.. and the 'watchdog / watchdogd' commands fail as if I don't have the driver.

        The ichwd driver in 10.1 claims to support the following chipsets:

        Is yours in there?

        Hmm, since the Atom is an SoC this appears to be more difficult to dig through.

          My Processor is the C2558, probably has the same chipset as the other Rangeley and Avoton boards. I think a lot of pfsense users have these.

          Yeah, no mention of chipset on the Intel product page.

            Yes I was trying to cross check against the Linux driver where some support does seem to have been added but actually defining the hardware that needs supporting eludes me. It's all on the chip.
            https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/9/429
            It looks like it's now all part of the 'PCU' device which is in the SoC.

            I don't think it's supported yet.

              well that explains it. I guess I'll just watch for support in freebsd. hopefully backported to 10.1
