4.1.1.2 Reset Request Register
The reset request register RST_REQ is used to generate a software reset. Unlike the
other reset causes, the software reset can exclude functions (System Timer reset and
hardware reset (HDRST) generation) from the reset. Additionally, the boot configuration
information can be set by software.
RST_REQ is Endinit-protected, meaning that bit WDT_CON0.ENDINIT must be set to 0
first through the password-protected access scheme provided for the watchdog timer
register WDT_CON0. Once access is gained through the Endinit-protection scheme,
RST_REQ can be written, causing the requested software reset.
