You have the WDT functionality working. It uses the same DTS bindings
as ones used in Linux.

Currently u-boot for Tegra 30 doesn't support Watchdog at all...

You have for example collibri T30 modules without WDT functionality
support.

After adding those patches you can use WDT class (and wdt command) to
control WDT.

Do you have more specific questions?


It is strange, but I've just noticed your reply (caused probably by my
"work" mail switch), so I would like to apologize for a late reply.
