Without side-tracking things too much, I do want to note the last time within U-Boot we talked about watchdogs and UEFI specification, I believe there was still some doubt how hardware watchdogs are handled vs the notion of a software watchdog, and it should probably be clarified which things we're talking about here. -- Tom _______________________________________________ boot-architecture mailing list boot-architecture@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/boot-architecture
