Rui Ribeiro Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Out of curiosity, and according to several articles/posts including this one http://forum.lemaker.org/thread-1847-1-1.html the A20 has support for hardware watchdogs. Has some successfully configured and used the watchdog kernel module sunxi_wdt.ko in a banana / lamobo R1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtlARM Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi, I'm using the CubieTruck with legacy kernel and also searching for watchdog support. As far as I can figure out, the kernel seems to be compiled without watchdog support: /dev/watchdog is not present and /var/log/syslog does not contain anything with sunxi_wdt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtlARM Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 You have to load the correct kernel module to enable watchdog support in general: nano /etc/modules # and append this somewhere (reboot afterwards) sunxi-wdt And you have to install the watchdog package: apt-get install watchdog It is possible to configure some more stuff here: nano /etc/watchdog.conf But I have the feeling that it works just out of the box. I would appreciate if you could post your experience with that settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
