commit bd99b257c099504857fe890b7832c0cbf10ee4da Author: Alexandru Gagniuc mr.nuke.me@gmail.com Date: Thu May 23 13:39:43 2013 -0500
EPIA-M850: Disable auto-reboot
The VX900 chipset on this board has a watchdog-like mechanism. This reboots the board four seconds after it is powered on. It will not reboot it a second time, but is still annoying when debugging.
Disable the timer that causes the reset. This prevents the board from resetting 4 sends after power on.
