kerneldriver for 97317VUL watchdog onboard device

RouterOS General
1

Hello,
i’ve got some old embedded firewalls(LANSHIELD) and want to change the OS to RouterOS.
One Big Problem: The device got an onboard hardware watchdog which could not be disabled!!, and it resets the device every 10 Minutes
I write a small Kernel Patch(adds the Watchdog device) to use it with my own Linux.

You can find it here: http://2lss.de/lanshield/

Is it possible to add this Driver? (Code is clean and under GPL)
Or did anyone know who i can implement it by myself?

MikroTIk doesn’t add drivers to RouterOS. We only use vanilla kernel and it’s integrated drivers.

According to the manual, number 2 on DIP switch 1 disables the watchdog.
