SPRUJE4D August 2024 – June 2025 F29H850TU , F29H859TU-Q1
The F29H85x and F29P58x Real-Time Microcontrollers data sheet specifies that the VDD rail must be powered-on after the VDDIO/VDDA rails have powered-on.
The power-management IC (PMIC) is programmed to bring up the VDD and VDDIO/VDD rails together. This incorrect power supply sequence can cause the MCU XRSn pin to remain asserted on some EVMs after power-on. On these boards, Code Compose Studio cannot connect to the MCU.
The hardware modification shown below is required to work around this issue.
This hardware modification has been implemented on all MCU144E1-002 and MCU144E1-003 assemblies.
