On the F522x and F521x devices, there are two reset pins:
The device can be held in reset by asserting a low on either of the two reset pins. However, the NMI pin functionality is available only on the RST/NMI pin and is not multiplexed with the RSTDVCC pin.
The RSTDVCC pin has an internal pullup that is always enabled and is not configurable. The RST/NMI pin has configurable internal pullup and pulldown resistors available. By default, the internal pullup resistor on the RST/NMI pin is enabled. The SYSRSTUP and SYSRSTRE bits in the reset pin control register (SFRRPCR) are used to select either the internal pullup or pulldown and to enable them, respectively.
If the RST/NMI pin is unused, select and enable the internal pullup resistor, or connect an external pullup resistor (47 kΩ recommended) to the pin.
NOTE
Because all of the 4-wire JTAG pins (on Port J) reside on the DVCC supply domain, use the RSTDVCC pin which also resides on the DVCC supply domain for the JTAG interface and not the DVIO supplied RST/NMI pin. For more details, see the JTAG pin requirements and functions table in MSP430F522x, MSP430F521x Mixed-Signal Microcontrollers.
