Trigger hardware reboot

Hi,

is it possible to trigger a reboot, e.g. after the system froze? Like a poor-man's Intel vPro / AMT allows over the network or by any other means.

The background is that the device may be placed where access is impossible most of the time.

Hi Benji,

The RevPi Connect has a hardware watchdog, which can reset the device in case of an failure. The watchdog needs to be toggled regularly while the system is operational. If the wd is not toggled for a certain period, then the reset is issued.
