4.6 Reset Sources

Generally, PIC32CM devices can distinguish between these types of reset:
  1. Power Resets
    • POR: Power On Reset
    • BOR: Brownout Detector Reset
  2. User Resets
    • WDT: Watchdog Timer
    • RESET pin
    • CPU - both sysreset request and core lockup
Important: On devices of the PIC32CM PL10 family, all User Reset sources are treated equally like Power Reset sources.
