Removing IMX Watchdog Driver results in error -11

[michaelrobbelot]

To anyone out there,

I have the imx watchdog driver built as a module. However when I try to remove the watchdog driver from the commandline via toolbox's rmmod, I get a -11 error. If I try to use the ARM DS-5 debugger and JTAG connection I believe I'm getting a signal interrupted error which equates to  EAGAIN or -11. I'm trying to remove it for using the JTAG without the watchdog tripping.

Hi Michael,

Could you please specify which i.MX device and software BSP are you using?

Best regards!

Carlos,

It's a custom imx.6 device using a BCM Advanced Research derived BSP (Android JB 4.3; LInux 3.0.35).

Hi Michael,

Have you consider that some Watchdog registers include write-once bits? So, if they were configured at the startup, they cannot be rewritten until next system reset. Below you can see the Watchdog Control Register description from the i.MX6DQ Reference Manual:

Hope this will be useful for you.
Best regards!
