4.4.3.1 RSTCFG Pin
Table 4-5 shows the RSTCFG pin settings for configuring the MCU to use a default or a custom 
configuration. 
Refer to Chapter 2, “Signal Description” for more information about the RSTCFG pin.
4.4.3.2 WKPCFG Pin (Reset Weak Pullup/Pulldown Configuration)
As shown in Table 4-6, the signal on the WKPCFG pin determines whether specific eTPU and eMIOS pins 
are connected to weak pullup or weak pulldown devices during and after reset.
For all reset sources except the software external reset, the WKPCFG pin is applied starting when the 
internal reset signal asserts (RSTOUT). If the WKPCFG signal is logic high when RSTOUT asserts, pullup 
devices are enabled on the eTPU and eMIOS pins. If the WKPCFG signal is logic low when RSTOUT 
asserts, pulldown devices are enabled on those pins. The value on WKPCFG must remain constant during 
reset to avoid oscillations on the eTPU and eMIOS pins caused by switching pullup/down states. The final 
value of WKPCFG is latched four clock cycles before RSTOUT negates. After reset, software can modify 
the weak pullup/down selection for all I/O pins through the PCRs in the SIU.
Refer to Chapter 2, “Signal Description” for information about the WKPCFG pin and how the eTPU and 
eMIOS pins that are affected.
4.4.3.3 BOOTCFG[0:1] Pins (MCU Configuration)
In addition to specifying the RCHW location, the values latched on the BOOTCFG[0:1] pins at reset 
initialize the internal flash memory enabled/disabled state, and determine whether no arbitration or 
external arbitration of the external bus interface is selected. Additionally, the RCHW can determine either 
directly or indirectly how the MMU is configured, how the external bus is configured, the FlexCAN or 
eSCI module pin configuration, Nexus enabling, and password selection. 
Refer to Chapter 2, “Signal Description” for information about the BOOTCFG pins.
