Hi all,
I'm trying to discover what's wrong with watchdog on my board. I didn't find anything about it on internet so I would 
ask you for help.
I have a board with sam9g25 and slow clock xtal 32768Hz with 10p capacitors to GND. Frequency seems to be good since 
hwclock (RTC) runs pretty precisely powered from backup and main power too (no NTP). But watchdog time to reset is still 
61s regardless default (16s) or 4s heartbeat setting. No change to WDT_MR in bootstrap, so in Linux should work.
Here is dump:

Thanks for any help.
