Bit 0 – SWRST Software Reset

Write a ‘1’ to this bit to reset the SFR registers including CTRLA.ENABLE. The bit stays high until reset completes. Setting this bit also sets the SYNCBUSY.SWRST to 1. SYNCBUSY.SWRST stays 1 until reset sequence completes.

Note:
  1. When the CTRLA.SWRST is written, the user should poll the SYNCB.SWRST bit to know when the reset operation is complete.
  2. During a SWRST, access to registers/bits without SWRST are disallowed until the SYNCBUSY.SWRST is cleared by the hardware.
