Hi Philipp,
you are right that the value store/computed inside the structure wdd (struct watchdog_device) should be in seconds, according to the header file documentation in watchdog.h.

However, in the PCF2127 datasheet, the value n that is stored in the PCF2127_REG_WD_VAL register does not represent a value in seconds, but a counter value. It is given by this equation:

n = source_clock_frequency x timer_period_in_seconds

For the PCF2127, since the clock used is 1Hz, it works as the previous equation can be simplified as:

n = timer_period_in_seconds

However, if the source clock is different than 1Hz, it would no longer work. Also, since the PCF2131 uses a default clock of 1/4 Hz, it also would not work.

That is the reason why I modified the watchdog timer value (n) computation to take the clock into account. I then use the desired timeout in seconds given by PCF2127_WD_VAL_DEFAULT to compute the counter value (n).

So what I am proposing to do is to store the PCF2127_WD_VAL_DEFAULT value in wdd->timeout, as before, but convert it to a counter value in pcf2127_wdt_active_ping(). Or to only compute it once, I could define a new variable and compute/set it in pcf2127_watchdog_init().

Hugo.


Hi Hugo,

with some small changes to your code I was able to get the behavior right. But with this the timeout get converted from seconds to the counter register format on every ping.

Just add WD_COUNTER(wdd->timeout, pcf2127->cfg->wdd_clock_hz_x1000) to the regmap_write() in pcf2127_wdt_ping(). Then in pcf2127_watchdog_init() just do:

pcf2127->wdd.timeout = PCF2127_WD_VAL_DEFAULT;

Best regards,
Philipp

Introduce in the configuration structure two new values to hold the
watchdog clock source and the min_hw_heartbeat_ms value.

The minimum and maximum timeout values are automatically computed from
the watchdog clock source value for each variant.

The PCF2131 has no 1Hz watchdog clock source, as is the case for
PCF2127/29.

The next best choice is using a 1/4Hz clock, giving a watchdog timeout
range between 4 and 1016s. By using the same register configuration as
for the PCF2127/29, the 1/4Hz clock source is selected.

Note: the PCF2127 datasheet gives a min/max range between 1 and 255s,
but it should be between 2 and 254s, because the watchdog is triggered
when the timer value reaches 1, not 0.
