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). The driver also supports the W83627DHG chip.
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.
