* ``EXT`` (EXTernal): some SoCs have special device pins for external reset
signals other than the ``RST`` one. Application specific how to handle this
state.
+* ``BROWNOUT``: some SoCs detect undervoltage conditions and stay in reset

It depends on your board/SoC and its features if the hardware is able to detect
these reset reasons. Most of the time only ``POR`` and ``RST`` are supported
