How to reset the system from within an MQX Application

[mykepredko]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to reset my system and reboot from my MQX application (when I reach an error condition - caused by external conditions).  Reading the MQX RM, I thought I could do it with the statement:

 _mqx_get_initialization());

But this just hangs the system (the very result I'm trying to avoid). 

Does anybody have any suggestions as what to do?

Thanx,

myke

You may initialize a watchdog object and then enter in an infinite loop.

Or you may simple act directly on the Reset Control Register (RCR).

Thanx for the pointers Mark. 

Using the RCR, I make the RSTO line on the CF Active (low), delay and then reset the processor. 

That is exactly what I was looking for.
