But, strangely, if I don't do any printk() and printf() no resets.

Can the printing to console from kernel/user "block" the

kernel for so long?

Yes, printk() can block the kernel for a long  time.  Try  increasing
the  console  baudrate,  and  or not using output to a serial port at
all.

Where is the MMU support?

What do you mean?

You could also hack some code into the serial driver to kick the WDT every character or every n characters.  Ugly, but would probably get the job done for you.
