1 Replies and 562 Views am3517 watchdog doesn't reset  562  1 Started by  Anthony Jackson Has anyone been able to successfully get the hw watchdog working on the board I set up the watchdog (in uboot), watched it count up to the overflow value and it halts the processor, but does not warm reset like I would expect.  If I read the TRM correctly, this is a hardware line that should warm reset the power. All of the logic for doing this is in the am3517 chip, so I don&39;t see a lot of information for how to debug this. Is there something that I have to change in the PCRM

0 Replies and 2186 Views OpenGL ES enablement  2186  0 Started by  brian.edmond I have a kit and when I boot there is no OpenGL ES library. I saw there was a link to the TI BSP which seems to include the OpenGL ES libraries. I followed the steps to flash the board but once completed the board boots but gets many errors on the flash regarding a magic number mismatch for the filesystem. Has anyone re-flashed the board and gotten OpenGL ES to work Thanks, Brian
