Hello, We use an mpc8xx custom board, u-boot 1.1.1 and ELDK 3.0 (kernel 2.4.24 with HZ = 500).
My problems are using the wdt_mpc8xx watchdog. We have a lot off resets, especially during application loading. I have tried to increase the reset rate of the module to HZ/10 instead of HZ/2 but it didn't help. Sometime creating a new image (we use SELF) solves the problem. To overcome the resets we insert/remove sleep or increase/decrease our logging (printf to console). The applications are written in C++ with pthreads multi-threading optimized with -O2. We use poll-select on the serial channel (SMC2), and all blocking functions are implemented within threads. Tried to fork() instead off using system() and other tests, but every time we think we solved it...after some time the resets come back. I could not find a rational for the problem. Any ideas?
