Rui Ribeiro Posted March 11, 2016 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?
EtlARM Posted July 11, 2016 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
EtlARM Posted July 12, 2016 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.
