3.2.4 Software Reset

The Reset Controller allows software to assert the the following reset signals:

  • Reset the processor and the Watchdog Timer

  • Reset all the embedded peripherals

  • Reset the Co-processor (SAM4C devices only)

  • Reset all the embedded peripherals associated with the Co-processor (SAM4C devices only)

  • Assert NRST for a programmable time period

Note: The embedded peripheral reset also includes the memory system and the Remap Command and is generally used for debugging purposes.
Note: For SAM4C devices the Co-processor peripheral reset only affects the embedded peripherals associated with the Co-processor. The processor's peripherals are not reset.
