Issue with Linux watchdog timer where system did not restart for NUC10i7FNK

[null_ptr]

iTCO_wdt driver not working for Ubuntu 20.04 on NUC10i7FNK.  This post shows it's a BIOS issue and there is a fix.  I'm requesting a copy of the BIOS with the fix for testing on my local setup.  Additionally, what is the lead time for the official BIOS release that fixes this bug?

Thanks!

@Steven_Intel Any updates on this?  Can we get the pre-released BIOS that fixes this issue as discussed in the linked ticket bove?  This is a critical bug for my organization.  We have units in the field that are hanging with no working watchdog.

Thanks,

Dan

For anyone who thinks Intel has abandoned this thread, there does appear to be a BIOS update for this.  See https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19485/bios-update-fncml357.html
