== Reset scheme and control signals ==

The following picture shows the simplified block diagram of reset scheme and voltage monitoring.

The available reset signals are described in detail in the following sections.

=== CPU_PORn ===

Three different sources can assert this active-low signal:
* PMIC
* multiple-voltage monitor: this device monitors several critical power voltages and triggers a reset pulse in case any of these exhibits a brownout condition
* watchdog timer: even if MX6 processor integrates a watchdog timer (WDT), an external WDT (Maxim MAX6373KA+) is avalible to maximize reliability

Since SPI NOR flash can be used as boot device, CPU_PORn is connected to this device too. This guarantees it is in a known state after reset occurrence.
