In linux kernel since version 2.6.20 (release Date: 2007-02-04)
This is the driver for the hardware watchdog on the W83627HF chipset
as used in Advantech PC-9578 and Tyan S2721-533 motherboards
(and likely others). This watchdog simply watches your kernel to
make sure it doesn't freeze, and if it does, it reboots your computer
after a certain amount of time.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called w83627hf_wdt.
Most people will say N.
