Detailed Description

A platform-independent method of checking the cause of the last system reset.

When the system restarts, the reason for the restart is contained in the system registers at boot time in a platform specific manner. This API provides a generic method of fetching the reason for the restart.

static reset_reason_t get ( )

static

Get the platform independent reason code for the last system reset.

Returns: enum containing the last reset reason for the board.

Example:

const reset_reason_t reason = ResetReason::get();
if (reason == RESET_REASON_WATCHDOG) {
    printf("Watchdog reset\n");
    rollback();
}

static uint32_t get_raw ( )

static

Get the platform specific reason code for the last system reset.

Platform specific reasons that are not covered by the reset_reason_t enum will cause the ResetReason::get() function to return RESET_REASON_PLATFORM. In order to get the actual reason the register value must be fetched directly using this function and interpreted in a platform specific manner.

Returns: value containing the reset reason register for the given platform. If the platform contains reset reasons across multiple registers they will be concatenated here.

Example:

if (ResetReason::get() == RESET_REASON_PLATFORM) {
    const uint32_t platform_reason = ResetReason::get_raw();
}
