[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] mx31pdk: Disable watchdog

[Fabio Estevam]

When booting a mainline kernel on a mx31pdk the system gets getting resets from the watchdog.

As the kernel has watchdog support, disable it from U-boot.

But if the kernel has support for watchdog, why does the system reset ?
I checked this board and the watchdog in u-boot is set to 64 seconds,
that is the maximum value. It is surely enough for kernel to boot and to
start triggering the watchdog. If the system still reboots, it seems to
me that this is an issue to be fixed in kernel, not in u-boot. I am sure
I have tested in the past (not recently) the QONG board with enabled
watchdog, using also the imx2_wdt driver in kernel.

The watchdog in u-boot helps if u-boot hangs somewhere, for example
transfering the image from media. It is a different feature.

Best regards,
Stefano Babic

    That's tautological. Maybe "is getting reset"?

Applied to u-boot-imx, next branch, thanks.

I have sent a patch to the ARM kernel list to add watchdog support for
qong board:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2011-September/065698.html

Can you please try it and let me know if you get resets when watchdog
is enabled in U-boot
and kernel?

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam

Ok, thanks.

It works, the board does not get reset (of course, it is required to
trigger at least once the watchdog under the kernel). I send my
Tested-by to linux-arm.

Yes, looks like on my mx31pdk the kernel never services the watchdog.

Will try to debug the kernel then.

Thanks for testing it on qong board.

I managed to fix this and will submit a patch for U-boot shortly.
