rpi3b(+) BCM4345/6 kernel > 5.1 watchdog module for reboot

Postby 2c982m9 » Mon May 13, 2019 3:09 pm

Since kernel 5.1 bcm2835_wdt (watchdog module) has had to be loaded 'manually' to make reboots work:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
$ cat /etc/modules-load.d/bcm2835_wdt.conf
# required on rpi3b(+) for reboot
bcm2835_wdt
')

AFAICT nothing has changed in the kernel config and the module is still:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
CONFIG_BCM2835_WDT=m
')
