4.4 Reset-Triggered Flash Reload of Application

Depending on an application use-case, a full reload of user application may be desired upon a warm reset of the device. This ensures a "clean" start for the application image and would recover the device from any memory corruption issues that may have caused runaway code and a watchdog warm reset in the first place.

The RBL, by design, does not support loading from flash on a warm reset. It is thus recommended that the customer take appropriate care in the design of their hardware PCB if this behavior is desired.
