BCM2835 Watchdog with RevPi Core 3

Post by Projektraum »

Hi,

A costumer which uses a solution made with RevPi Core3 asked me today if it is possible to have a Watchdog timer
running on the RevPi.

Looking a little bit at google I found that it is possible to use a hardware watchdog (BCM2835_wdt) on Raspberry Pi
(https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... p?t=210974)

Looking at Kunbus website and forum, it says that only RevPi Connect has the Watchdog feature.

Question:
Is it possible to use the same procedure described at raspberrypi forum on RevPi Core3, or is the hardware
different enough that this BCM2835 watchdog is not available?

Many thanks in advance,
Nathan
