pulled low, by pressing the reset switch S2, to force a reset to the AM3730 processor and
to any device on the expansion card that require a reset.
It also allows for the reset signal to be pulled low or held low for an extended time by
circuitry on the expansion card if needed.
8.9.4.3 User Reset
The USER RESET button can be used to request a Warm Reset from the processor. After
initialization, this pin becomes an input to the processor. By pushing the Reset button, an
interrupt is generated into the processor. The software that is run as a result of this can
then do whatever housekeeping is required and then send the processor into a reset mode.
8.9.4.4 PWRON
You will notice another signal on the TPS65950 called PWRON. This signal is
referenced in the TPS65950 documentation. In the BeagleBoard design it is not used but
it is pulled high to insure the desired operation is maintained.
8.9.5 mSecure Signal
This signal provides for protection of the RTC registers in the TPS65950 be disabling
that function via a control signal from the processor.
For more information on the operation on the signal, please refer to the processor
Technical Reference Manual.
