    Hi Robert,


    You can disable the watchdog from uboot using the new flow, the details in the github

    https://github.com/altera-opensource/u-boot-socfpga


    follow the build u-boot step in building bootloader


    - Watchdog:

        CFG_SYS_WATCHDOG_FREQ

        Some platforms automatically call WATCHDOG_RESET()

        from the timer interrupt handler every

        CFG_SYS_WATCHDOG_FREQ interrupts. If not set by the

        board configuration file, a default of CONFIG_SYS_HZ/2

        (i.e. 500) is used. Setting CFG_SYS_WATCHDOG_FREQ

        to 0 disables calling WATCHDOG_RESET() from the timer

        interrupt.


    You can use this step to disable the watchdog


    Thank you,
