The uEFI Shell CP3002/-RC/-RA uEFI BIOS kwdt (continued) USAGE: Set Watchdog to 16 seconds and activate it COMMAND / RESPONSE (none): Shell> kwdt -t 7 Note: Because there is no application which triggers the Watchdog, the system will be reset after 16 seconds in this case. This command should be invoked from a script, followed by an operating system boot, and the OS then has to start triggering the Watchdog.
CP3002/-RC/-RA uEFI BIOS 6.3 uEFI Shell Scripting 6.3.1 Startup Scripting The uEFI Shell If the ESC key is not pressed and the timeout is run out, the uEFI Shell tries to execute some startup scripts automatically. It searches for scripts and executes them in the following order: 1. Kontron flash-stored startup script 2. If there is no Kontron flash-stored startup script present, the uEFI-specified startup.nsh script is used.
