Hi,
This is quite strange as mode transition to functional reset is not starting power up sequence, so therefore I would not suspect the power supply.
But as it runs with debugger correctly, I expect this to be issue of SW.
I would like to ask some questions:
1. Is the failing SW running correctly in NXP evaluation board?
2. Do you see this issue on micro with no SW (just simple mode transition)
3. Do you see this issue when you put failing micro into NXP Evaluation board?
4. Could you share the waveform of reset, VDD_HV and LV when the mode transition to reset is called?
regards,
Peter
