MPC860 onchip WatchDog

[Banks, Kelly]

I just did this last week.  My test load is cooking in the test oven now.
You need to tickle the WD at several places within the kernel.  For me, it
worked by putting the tickle code in kernel/sched.c &
arch/ppc/boot/simple/misc-embedded.c.  Granted, there is likely a better
place to put chip specific code than in kernel/sched.c, but it did get the
job done.

I'm curious to know if there are any 'proper conventions' for doing this
sort of thing.

Hi, I trying to use the MPC860 onchip WatchDog.I compile ppcboot-1.1.4
with include/config_MBX.h ( I have a MBX860 board) I compile the
linux-2.4.4-2002-02-14 kernel by denx. I activate the WatchDog support
for
MPC860.Well, I make tftpboot then I tray to boot the
kernel but...

Linux/PPC load:root=/dev/nfs rw
Uncompressing Linux...done.
Now booting the kernel

And reset.
Thats mean that WD works fine but I can't boot.
What can I do???
Modify the kernel code to service the watchdog????
Which part of kernel I have to modify???
Thanks a lot.
