PRODUCTION DATA
The Cortex-M3 CPU and NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller) are both reset by the POR or the M3SYSRST reset signal. In both cases, the Cortex-M3 CPU restarts program execution from the address provided by the reset entry in the vector table. A register can later be referenced to determine the source of the reset. The M3SYSRST signal also propagates to the Cortex-M3 peripherals and the rest of the Cortex-M3 Subsystem.
The M3SYSRST has four possible sources: XRS, M3WDOGS, M3SWRST, and M3DBGRST. The M3WDOGS is set in response to time-out conditions of the two Cortex-M3 Watchdogs or the Cortex-M3 NMI Watchdog. The M3SWRST is a software-generated reset output by the NVIC. The M3DBGRS is a debugger-generated reset that is also output by the NVIC. In addition to driving M3SYSRST, these two resets also propagate to the C28x Subsystem and the Analog Subsystem.
The M3RSNIN bit can be set inside the CRESCNF register to selectively reset the C28x Subsystem from the Cortex-M3, and ACIBRST bit of the same register selectively resets the Analog Common Interface Bus. In addition to driving reset signals to other parts of the chip, the Cortex-M3 can also detect a C28SYSRST reset being set inside the C28x Subsystem by reading the CRES bit of the CRESSTS register.
Cortex-M3 software can also set bits in the SRCR register to selectively reset individual Cortex-M3 peripherals, provided they are enabled inside the DC (Device Configuration) register. The Reset Cause register (MRESC) can be read to find out if the latest reset was caused by External Reset, POR, Watchdog Timer 0, Watchdog Timer 1, or Software Reset from NVIC.
