Hi everyone,
I use the de0 board (Cyclone 5) to run a Yocto generated Linux. This linux can be run with either the uboot as produced by using the sources that come with the quartus 18.1 lite installation (uboot 2013.01) or an up-to-date uboot (2019.04) compiled in Yocto.
It is much easier to use the 2013.01 uboot to have linux up and running on the cyclone5 HPS since a lot of functionality is part of the uboot realization and has a direct connection to the quartus project (e.g. bridge_enable).
Nevertheless, it is also possible to issue the right commands in uboot to run the linux in combination with the 2019.04 uboot realization if providing a lot of addresses manually. However, in this case the linux system seem to run only about 30 seconds before a reset is issued. My guess is that the uboot watchdog is responsible for the reboot.
My question: I have the feeling that it would be the purpose of the linux kernel to report watchdog events such that uboot does not reset on watchdog timer expired. Has anyone found how this can be achieved in Linux? I run a mainline 4.18 kernel (the yocto-rt kernel in thud).
Thank you and best regards
Hauke
