Please turn it to a proper device driver and send a patch when you got it working. :) Check e.g. drivers/watchdog/orion_wdt.c to see how a barebox watchdog driver looks like. > I have used the code in the > Barebox respository file "acpi-test.c" as a guide, and here's what > I've got so far for my driver. > > #include > #include > #include > #include > #include > #include /* IORESOURCE_IO, IORESOURCE_MEM */ > > static int wdat_wdt_probe_GREATLY_SIMPLIFIED(struct device_d *const pdev) > { > /* This code is adapted from the following printk's > taken from the Linux kernel driver wdat_wdt: > > Wrote 0x20000 to 0x00000464, Access_with=32bit, pointer=0x00010464 > Wrote 0x1000 to 0x00000468, Access_with=32bit, pointer=0x00010468 > Wrote 0x4 to 0x00000460, Access_with=32bit, pointer=0x00010460 > Wrote 0x640000 to 0x00000470, Access_with=32bit, pointer=0x00010470 > Wrote 0x4 to 0x00000460, Access_with=32bit, pointer=0x00010460 > Wrote 0x4 to 0x00000460, Access_with=32bit, pointer=0x00010460 > > Resource=0 : IORESOURCE_IO, start=0x00000460, len=1, reg=0x00010460 > Resource=1 : IORESOURCE_IO, start=0x00000470, len=1, reg=0x00010470 > Resource=2 : IORESOURCE_IO, start=0x00000468, len=1, reg=0x00010468 > Resource=3 : IORESOURCE_IO, start=0x00000464, len=1, reg=0x00010464 > */ > > request_ioport_region(dev_name(pdev), 0x460,0x470); > > long long unsigned const base = 0x10460; //For x86, just add > 0x10000 to 0x460 I don't understand where this 0x10000 comes from. x86 I/O ports are 16-bits. > > iowrite32(0x20000, (volatile void __iomem *)(base + 4u)); > iowrite32(0x1000, (volatile void __iomem *)(base + 8u)); > iowrite32(0x4, (volatile void __iomem *)(base + 0u)); > iowrite32(0x640000, (volatile void __iomem *)(base + 10u)); > iowrite32(0x4, (volatile void __iomem *)(base + 0u)); // This is a kick > iowrite32(0x4, (volatile void __iomem *)(base + 0u)); // This is a kick As you noticed writes aren't enough.

And then you are supposed to parse the ACPI table to arrive at the addresses you need to use instead of hardcoding them. The kernel code has a struct acpi_table_wdat that defines the layout > .driver = { > .name = "Cameron_itco_watchdog_acpi_driver", > .probe = wdat_wdt_probe_GREATLY_SIMPLIFIED, > .remove = Cameron_Remove, > } > }; > > This code doesn't work and I'm trying to figure out why.
