Hi,
	I just got one of these boards to evaluate.  I was trying to load the 
watchdog, but no luck.  There seem to be a few other errors too

amdsbwd0: ResetStatus0 = 0xf9
amdsbwd0: ResetStatus1 = 0x0b
amdsbwd0: memory base address = 0xfec000f0

amdsbwd0: bus_alloc_resource for ctrl failed
device_attach: amdsbwd0 attach returned 6

USB seems to have some issues as well

not sure of the NIC errors are issues too ?
