'''By default, MX8 processor does not assert any external signal when it initiates a software reset sequence. Also default software reset implementation does not guarantee that all processor registers are reset properly'''.
For these reasons, it is strongly recommended to use a different approach that, in combination with the use of a processor's watchdog timer (WDT), provides a full hardware reset in case a software reset is issued.
''TBD'' This technique is implemented in [[DESK-MX8MX8M-L]]. At software level, U-Boot and Linux kernel software reset routines make use of processor's WDT to assert the WDOG1_WDOG_B reset signal. This signal in turn is routed to GPIO1_IO02 pad (MUX mode = 1, ''internal connection only''). At hardware level, this signal is connected to the PMIC WDOG_B input that generates a system POR.
