Does the RT1170 have some (small) area of internal RAM that will retain its contents across a reset?

Hi @Littell 

Please refer https://www.nxp.com/design/training/i-mx-rt1170-mcus-architecture-overview:TIP-IMX-RT1170-MCUS-ARCHI... to know more about RT1170.

 

For hardware reset (E.g. POR ) case, the state of each RAM will be undefined(random, not all zero).

 

B.R, Sam

Hi @Littell 

RAM will retain its contents across a reset if NO any power off, that's how ram works.

If power off, it will be lost.

Yes, but are the internal RAM blocks powered down as the result of a hardware reset?  (My apologies for not being familiar enough with the RT1170 - do the internal RAM blocks even have separate power enables?)
