I would prefer to use controlled reboot over uncontrolled watchdog reset.
For example it would be better to have boot and fail strategy. In case
of network boot, it would be better to retry download in some time and
not cause watchdog reset. If retry count exceeded then some thing should
be done. It can be power off, reboot, fall back to CLI.
The reason for controlled reboot is the fact that the reset impact (or
Reset Sensitivity) is different for every product and source of reset.
This example is take from MiniRISC EZ4021-FC documentation:
Soft TAP Ctrl
Module Reset Reset PrRst ERst TRST Reset
CPU yes yes yes no no no
CP0 yes yes yes no no no
ICCi yes yes yes no no no
DCC yes yes yes no no no
BIU yes yes yes no no no
MMU yes no no no no no
MDU yes yes yes no no no
EJTAG iface:
- DMA/CPU Acc yes yes yes yes yes yes
logic
- Protocol engine yes no no yes yes yes
- Breakpoint yes no no yes no no
- PC trace yes no no yes no no
Most Atheros/QCA WiSoCs will not reset complete SoC even with watchdog
triggered reset.
