18:06.52aandrewgood afternoon everyone
18:07.51aandrewis there some magic involved in using the kernel watchdog device? I'm on a Zynq, using the zynq watchdog (cdns-wdt) driver
18:08.06aandrewif I open /dev/watchdog and write to it periodically, it does not reboot (this is expected).
18:08.19aandrewif I stop writing to it and just wait, the system will *hang*
18:08.40aandrewif I close the device, I get the warning that the wd counter didn't stop (it's ok) and then it reboots as expected when the watchdog times out
18:10.45aandrewis the intended operating mode to periodically open, write, close instead of open and periodically write, never closing?
