The ComfilePi's SoC has an internal watchdog timer that can be used to automatically reboot the system should it ever become unresponsive. It is also recommended to enable the read-only file system overly to protect the file system from corruption should such an event occur.
First, verify that the /dev/watchdog device exists:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls -al /dev/watchdog* crw------- 1 root root 10, 130 Feb 14 2019 /dev/watchdog crw------- 1 root root 251, 0 Feb 14 2019 /dev/watchdog0
Uncomment the following lines in the file /etc/systemd/system.conf and then reboot. See the system.conf documentation for more information about these settings:
RuntimeWatchdogSec=10 RebootWatchdogSec=10min
To test if the watchdog service is working, obtain root privileges, and then create a kernel panic with the following:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo su pi@raspberrypi:~ $ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq pi@raspberrypi:~ $ echo "c" > /proc/sysrq-trigger
If the watchdog is working, then after about 10 to 20 seconds the ComfilePi should reboot.
