Help text

This is the driver for the hardware watchdog built in to the AMD 766/768 chipsets. 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.

You can compile this driver directly into the kernel, or use it as a module. The module will be called amd7xx_tco.
