Yocto Linux Board Support Package (BSP)
duagon offers a Linux BSP supporting the MC50M.
The BSP is intended to provide a quick start with the product in a Linux environment. It
allows easy creation of boot media for first tests. It may not include support for every
possible function, e.g., for licensing reasons.

Accessing SMBus/I2C Devices using Standard Linux I2C Tools
duagon provides an application note with detailed information:
2.6.4
Triggering the BMC Watchdog Directly via CPU GPIO
While standard Linux I2C tools provide access to the full BMC watchdog functionality, it
is also possible to trigger the watchdog directly by accessing a GPIO pin of the CPU
processor.

List currently available GPIOs:
The eighth GPIO of
gpiochip0
is the watchdog trigger signal, i.e. 434 + 8 = 442.
Linux Kernels lower than 4.8
