Have anyone tried to enable the watchdog feature on LS1043ardb? I am not sure which watchdog driver to include.
thanks

Thanks Pavel!
I followed all instructions and the problem is that the option "[*] PowerPC Book-E Watchdog Timer" is not available in the current SDK 2.0 for LS1043ardb. I searched thru the community posts and someone picked the S3C2410 but it does not work either.
After the system boots up, I can see the /etc/watchdog.conf file but I can't find the device /dev/watchdog at all.
I also added the following:
* mknod /dev/watchdog c 10 130
(* insmod which_watchdog_driver.ko ?????)
So I have 2 questions:
1) What do I need to do to be able to add the "PowerPC Boo-E Watchdog Timer" so I can configure the kernel. Or is this the correct driver? If not, which one should I use in the list of drivers currently available?
2) When should I do a mknod /dev/watchdog c 10 130?
thanks,
Hoa
Use the following command sequence for watchdog enabling on the LS1043ARDB board:
Enable watchdog. See attached files.
bitbake virtual/kernel
bitbake fsl-image-kernelitb
# watchdog /dev/watchdog
# ps -ae | grep watchdog
Have a great day,

Look at attached files.
These files contain part of NXP Linux SDK 2.0 Documentation for watchdog using and screenshots for watchdog enablement under this SDK.
