PMIC. |
| QCAP | Qualcomm Crash Analysis Portal |
| QDSS | Qualcomm Debug Subsystem |
| RPMh | Resource Power Management Hardening
It is part of AOP and used in
regulating the power on the device. |
| SDI | Software Debug Image
This is a debug feature in the TrustZone to
capture all subsystems core context in the RAM dump during an
abnormal reset. For more information on RAM dump, see [RAM dump](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-12/Debug-overview.html#ram-dump). |
| SNoC | System Network on Chip |

| TBU | Translation Buffer Unit. Arm SMMU IP component. |
| TCM | Tightly coupled memory |
| TSENS | Temperature Sensor
It captures the junction temperature of the
chipset. |
| TZ | TrustZone |
| WD | Watchdog
A watchdog is a fixed-length counter that enables a
system to recover from an unexpected hardware or software
catastrophe. |
| WD Bark | Watchdog timeout that results in a bark interrupt and kernel
panic. |
| WB Bite | Watchdog timeout that occurs if a watchdog is not petted even after
WD Bark, resulting in a bite interrupt in secure mode. This further
leads to a system reset. |
| WPSS | WLAN Processor Subsystem |
| XBL | eXtensible BootLoader |
| xPU | External Protection Unit
It is a module in the TrustZone subsystem
and is meant for protecting memory, address, and
register. |
