Hello,

 

I have Question hardware starp pins 

 

Because none of the datasheets mention the NV clear function.

 

I would like to ask experienced users if anyone knows the function of the NV clear function?

Hello @556064,

 

Thank you for contacting the Intel Embedded Community.

 

Unfortunately, the exact term "NV Clear Hardware Strap" is not defined in the documentation; however,  the "NV Clear Hardware Strap" function likely refers to a specific strap or set of straps that control the clearing or resetting of non-volatile memory settings or hardware configuration to a default state.

 

Best regards,
