If I implement a "system health scanner", and it detects a corrupted= register, a routine finding an anomalyty, strange error, or something...= Then i want to reboot the system immediately rather than wait for watchdog. So I want to effectively assert a hardware reset signal, that is guaranteed= to reset every pheripheral, also any state that is not writeable as= register. (I can make a startup routine that initializes every writeable register= but... reset seem more confident.) Is there a way to force true reset, other than connecting reset pin to an= output pin or wait for watchdog? Can the Wdog be deliberately triggered? /Morgan Morgan Olsson morgans.rt@telia.com Morgans Reglerteknik, H=E4llek=E5s, 277 35 KIVIK, SWEDEN tel +46(0)414-446620, fax +46(0)414-672324 -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
