Hi,

I would like to ask is it okay that during use of jtag usb debugging interface is set the PMMRSTIFG and PMMBORIFG? 

  • Hi Peter

    Could you please tell why you need set these two flag when debugging? 

    As the description below, the flag is set by hardware when corresponding event occur. I thinks there is no use case that we should manually set these bits.

  • Hi,

    I don't need to set those flags I am just asking whether it is okay that those flags are set automatically. I have noticed that sometimes both and sometimes just one.

    When I am debugging the program I am watching also some flags in that registers and I am just curious if those bits do not indicate some hidden problem. I added those register into check when main program starts and it looks like it is also set when main program starts. So I don't need to set any bits in that registers I just wanna know if it is not indication of any trouble.

  • Hi Peter

    Sorry for late reply. According to the user guide, these two pins shows there is a reset from RST/NMI pin or there is a software BOR.

    You mean when you run your program, somethings these two flags set but there is no reset or BOR happened and program runs well?

  • Hi!

    It is set when I use jtag for debugging and the BOR also after restart.

    Thank you for your answer!

  • Hi Peter,

    So there is a BOR reset do occurs after you run your program.

    Please check your RST/NMI pin connection and make sure it is pull-up well. And also make sure there is no software BOR in your application code.

    Best Regards
