3.4.1 Reset Source Identification Register (RSID - 0x400F C180)
This register contains one bit for each source of Reset. Writing a 1 to any of these bits 
clears the corresponding read-side bit to 0. The interactions among the four sources are 
described below.
 
Table 8. Reset Source Identification register (RSID - address 0x400F C180) bit description
Bit Symbol Description Reset 
value
0 POR Assertion of the POR signal sets this bit, and clears all of the other bits in 
this register. But if another Reset signal (e.g., External Reset) remains 
asserted after the POR signal is negated, then its bit is set. This bit is not 
affected by any of the other sources of Reset.

1 EXTR Assertion of the RESET
 signal sets this bit. This bit is cleared only by 
software or POR.

2 WDTR This bit is set when the Watchdog Timer times out and the WDTRESET bit 
in the Watchdog Mode Register is 1. This bit is cleared only by software or 
POR.

3 BODR This bit is set when the V
DD(REG)(3V3)
 voltage reaches a level below the 
BOD reset trip level (typically 1.85 V under nominal room temperature 
conditions).
If the V
DD(REG)(3V3) 
voltage dips from the normal operating range to below 
the BOD reset trip level and recovers, the BODR bit will be set to 1.
If the V
DD(REG)(3V3)
 voltage dips from the normal operating range to below 
the BOD reset trip level and continues to decline to the level at which POR 
is asserted (nominally 1 V), the BODR bit is cleared.
If the V
DD(REG)(3V3)
 voltage rises continuously from below 1 V to a level 
above the BOD reset trip level, the BODR will be set to 1.
This bit is cleared only by software or POR.
Note: Only in the case where a reset occurs and the POR = 0, the BODR 
bit indicates if the V
DD(REG)(3V3)
 voltage was below the BOD reset trip level 
or not.

31:4 - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The value 
read from a reserved bit is not defined.
