The goal of the document is to illustrate how to enable and use watchdog of SP7021.
...
Run make kconfig command in project top folder. When “Linux/arm 5.4.35 Kernel Configuration” menu pops up, please use arrow key to move cursor down to “Device Drivers”. Refer to screenshot below, cursor is moved to “Device Drivers”:
...
Press <Enter> to enter “Device Driver” sub-menu. Next, move cursor down to “Watchdog Timer Support” and press <Space> or “y” to enable it. Refer to screenshot below, “Watchdog Timer Support” is enabled:
...
Next, press <Enter> to enter “Watchdog Timer Support” sub-menu. Next, move cursor down to “Sunplus to “Device Drivers > Watchdog Timer Support > Sunplus watchdog support” and press <Space> or “y” to enable it. Refer to screenshot below, “Sunplus watchdog support” is enabled:
...
Refer to the following C example code of watchdog setup and feeding application. The application setups, starts, and then feeds watchdog every 12 seconds. The maximum time-out time of watchdog of SP7021 have no limit.
