NUC970系列资料之WDT问题及解决办法

1 WDT问题介绍

NUC970的必须要通过硬件Power on setting来开启,且开启后无法通过软件来关闭和打开。这样使用起来很不方便。很多客户希望可以在linux下通过软件来控制wdt。

WDT的硬件开关是由PWRON[3]位来控制的,它对应的GPIO是PA.3.

如果要关闭WDT,则需在系统上电前将PA.3拉到低电平。

如果要打开WDT,则需在系统上电前将PA.3拉悬空(因内部有上拉)。

 

2 WDT 测试情况2.1硬件关闭WDT的情况下测试WDT

系统启动后,运行bsp里wdt_demo程序后,当不喂狗时系统死机但没有触发重启。

/usr # ./wdt_demo

Open watchdog0 ok

ii = 10

ii = 9

ii = 8

ii = 7

ii = 6

ii = 5

ii = 4

ii = 3

ii = 2

ii = 1

ii = 0

watchdog watchdog0: nowayout prevents watchdog being stopped!

watchdog watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!

这说明通过软件无法打开nuc970的WDT

 

2.2硬件打开WDT的情况下测试WDT

在这种情况下,默认的bsp中u-boot是有喂狗程序的,但引导linux时就没有喂狗程序了,如果linux系统启动时间过长,就会出现系统没启动完就复位的问题。系统启动时间短的是有机会进入系统的,但进入系统如果不立即喂狗就会重启。

在这种情况,系统启动后就运行wdt_demo程序是可以控制WDT正常工作的:正常喂狗时系统正常工作,不喂狗时WDT复位。

不配置内核Disable watchdog shutdown on close时,当wdt_demo运行结束退出后,linux系统会关闭wdt。

Stopping WDT is probably not a good idea

系统没有重启,表明linux系统可以通过软件关闭nuc970的WDT。

通过软件关闭WDT后,还能否通过软件来开启WDT呢?

修改Wdt_demo程序在程序喂狗结束后不退出程序,加入一个死循环程序

以上测试表明,nuc970的WDT虽然只能由硬件来打开,但硬件打开后,软件就可以正常控制WDT的打开与关闭。

 

2.3 在硬件打开WDT的情况下,U-BOOT下如何关闭WDT

默认情况下硬件打开WDT后,u-boot是不会关闭WDT的,客户正常使用WDT时希望进入linux系统后再打开WDT。如何在U-boot下关闭WDT呢?

上面测试表明,硬件打开WDT后,是可以通过软件来控制WDT的开关的。所以只要在u-boot的WDT驱动中关闭通过软件关闭WDT即可。

打开wdt的驱动文件,分析发现nuc970的wdt驱动中预留了通过环境变量watchdog来控制WDT的开关的方法。

设置环境变量watchdog=off时,u-boot就关闭WDT。不设置环境变量watchog或设置为其他值,就不关闭WDT。

在u-boot下通过如下命令设置watchog环境变量。

U-Boot>set watchdog off

U-Boot>save

设置好以后,重启系统:

工作正常,进入系统后不重启,表明WDT已经关闭。

 

3 NUC970 WDT的使用方法

通过上面的测试,可以总结出nuc970系列芯片WDT的使用方法:

1)要通过硬件power on setting打开WDT,否则WDT不可用

2)设置u-boot下环境变量watchdog=off来关闭WDT

3)进入系统后要使用WDT时打开WDT。
