Note
SYSRESETREQ is cleared by a system reset, which means that asserting
VECTRESET at the same time might cause SYSRESETREQ to be cleared in the
same cycle as it is written to. This might prevent the external system from seeing
SYSRESETREQ. It is therefore recommended that VECTRESET and
SYSRESETREQ be used exclusively and never both written to 1 at the same time.
