IMX-6 Quad Core Reboot Issue

[bhupendrapawar]

Recently I am facing random reboot issues related to pre-empt issues.

kernel version: 3.14.52
Android Os Version : Android L

I have gone through other threads regarding issue but not find any solutions.

Your help is much appreciated.

The issue was resolved by reducing IMX6 processor frequency from 996MHz to 792MHz. No issue is seen after this change.

Hi bhupendra

reboot may be caused by ddr errors, please try ddr test

Thank you Igor,

Issue happened only when some android application running in while for more than 18 hrs.

Is it possible to disable watchdog?
