RM0016 Reset (RST)
Doc ID 14587 Rev 8 75/449
8.3.2 Watchdog reset
Refer to Section 15: Window watchdog (WWDG) and Section 14: Independent watchdog
(IWDG) for details.
8.3.3 Software reset
The application software can trigger reset by clearing bit T6 in the WWDG_CR register.
Refer to Section 15: Window watchdog (WWDG).
8.3.4 SWIM reset
An external device connected to the SWIM interface can request the SWIM block to
generate an MCU reset.
8.3.5 Illegal opcode reset
In order to provide enhanced robustness to the device against unexpected behavior, a
system of illegal opcode detection is implemented. If a code to be executed does not
correspond to any opcode or prebyte value, a reset is generated. This, combined with the
Watchdog, allows recovery from an unexpected fault or interference.
Note: A valid prebyte associated with a valid opcode forming an unauthorized combination does
not generate a reset.
8.3.6 EMC reset
To protect the application against spurious write access or system hang-up, possibly caused
by electromagnetic disturbance, the most critical registers are implemented as two bitfields
that must contain complementary values. Mismatches are automatically detected by this
mechanism, triggering an EMC reset and allowing the application to cleanly recover normal
operations.
