i.MX8QXP C0: crashevidence capture ramoops across SCwatchdogresetCortex-M4 supervision A35 cluster

Hi NXP Team, 
Platform details:

  • SoC: i.MX8QXP C0, custom board based on MEK reference
  • BSP: NXP Linux 6.6.3 [state exact tag, e.g. lf-6.6.3-1.0.0], Yocto Scarthgap
  • SCFW version: [run scu_rm / check boot log — paste version]
  • SECO/AHAB: [enabled/not enabled, version]
  • U-Boot: [2024.04/tag]
  • Cortex-M4 (CM4_0): currently unused, no firmware loaded
  • Use case: production automotive instrument cluster; A35 runs Linux/Weston HMI

Problem statement:
In production we occasionally see the A35 complex crash or hard-hang (kernel panic / lockup). Today we have no persisted crash evidence and no autonomous recovery — the cluster stays dead until a manual power cycle, and field/DV occurrences cannot be debugged. We want to implement (a) panic-log persistence across a watchdog reset using pstore/ramoops, and (b) supervision of the A35 by the CM4_0 with the ability to reset only the A35 partition.
On i.MX8QXP C0, when the system watchdog (imx-sc-wdt, handled by SCFW) fires, what type of reset is performed — full SoC/board reset or A-cluster partition reset? Is this configurable via SCFW board file or sc_pm API?
