System reset status register

Hi All,

           I am using LPC1114 and trying to check the System reset status register at startup to find the cause of the reset.

The only thing that does not work is when I do a System reset by calling NVIC_SystemReset() it reports as a watchdog reset.

   Regards,
    Syed

Hi guys,

I have a small (and maybe silly) question about reset.
LPC1768 has a pin called RSTOUT which indicates a reset state of the MCU.
Is it possible to drive this pin from the code? I would like to indicate a reset state for the rest of  the hardware always when the mcu is really in reset but sometimes I want to "imitate" a reset state. (hardware would see a low level on rstout but mcu is working normally).

Simon.

As said earlier the issue is not with clearing, system reset bit is not being set.

How do you know what the reserved bits will be? If any of them are set, your comparison will fail.

To clear all the reset bits-
LPC_SYSCON->SYSRESSTAT = 0b11111; //0x1F
//or write a 1 to whichever bit (s) you want cleared
Before clearing, you could save them to a var for later if wanted.

I don't think you want to do any &=  |= since you need to write a one to clear a bit. If you are trying to clear specific bits this way, you will inadvertently clear others.

The problem is it does not go inside the if statement

if ((LPC_SYSCON->SYSRESSTAT & MHM_SYSRST)== MHM_SYSRST){

}

I am checking if the system reset bit is set.

Hello Syed,

what happens if you use:
[SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][B]LPC_SYSCON->SYSRESSTAT |= MHM_SYSRST;[/B][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]
[/SIZE]

Hi,
     Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am using SYSRSTSTAT. Below is the code I am using to test the reset cause.

#define MHM_SYSRST                            0x10

if ((LPC_SYSCON->SYSRESSTAT & MHM_SYSRST)== MHM_SYSRST){
        /*
        ** The reset is caused by a Software System RESET.
        ** Clear reset bit.
        */
        LPC_SYSCON->SYSRESSTAT &= MHM_SYSRST;
    }

Regards,
Syed

Hello syed,

how did you get your info ... via reading SYSRSTSTAT?
