We are using the PocketBeagle (PB) in a design that has an external watchdog timer device to guard against crashes that the PB can’t recover from itself. Unfortunately we have found that the reset line on the PB is a soft reset input and not a true hardware reset and so it is possible to have the PB crash with the only means of recovery being a power cycle. This is not practical to implement as an automated process so is there any means of accessing the hardware reset line on the PB?
Only having a ‘soft’ reset is very limiting if the PB is to be used in unattended applications.
