Please avoid any POST code toggling. There are POST boards out there which display the last n POST codes and make it a lot easier to follow the code path. Once you add POST code toggling, that history is flushed away really fast.
Perhaps a config option? The same function/inline/macro could be put in the code, but de-toothed as far as toggling, for those with a fancier POST card.
Toggling aside, the original idea was, to point out there is one thing which pokes "keepalive" info already, and perhaps it's just a matter of directing that poke to include the TCO timer.
What is the longest amount of time between any two POST code updates? The only think I can think of is ECC ram clearing.
