S32k116 does not boot if PTB6 or PTB7 are high (and PE is used)

[nxa24490]

I noticed that:

• if either PTB7 or PTB6 are connected to VCC during boot
• if the project is created with Processor Expert 

the MCU does not boot, the WDOG reset is triggered

I'm using the S32k116 EVB, 

I've tried with the "hello_world_s32k116" example

to reproduce the issue simply import the project from example, connect v3.3 to PTB6 or PTB7 and the MCU will not boot, after the boot, the pin can safely be connected to VCC 

If I run a project without Processor expert (e.g. /S32K116_Project_hello) ,the issue is not there

I'm using S32 design studio, details:

Hi

The PTB6 and PTB7 are connect to XTAL and EXTAL and 40MHz crystal by default.

The Processor Expert of "hello_world_s32k116" example enabled SOSC and select 40MHz External crystal oscillator.

S32K116_Project_hello does not.

If you want to use PTB6 and PTB7 for other functions, please remove the R84 and R88, and disable the SOSC.

Best Regards,
Robin
