Karl, Thank you for the link. So, according to that thread, we cannot start the board reliably without modifying the hardware.
But what about doing something with nRESETIN_OUT pin? The datasheet says that the pin can be used to reset external devices, although it recommends using the pin as input only (page 1149). I wonder whether a special reset signal, generated on that pin to reset the transceiver chip, will work or not.
