Re: [avr-gcc-list] software restart

[TODD BATZLER]

Assuming your external timer module couldn't be made to pull down on the
reset line of the 8515 directly......

How about using your external interrupt isr to put the core to SLEEP in
the power down mode after enabling the watchdog with a shortest possible
timeout? (This assumes the watchdog is already running).  I may be
off-base here, but from what I gather from the data sheet, the watchdog
reset will then wake the processor up like it's a new day.  There are a
couple caveats about external interrupts that you'll need to take a look
at.  BTW, first time I've noticed that the instruction set doesn't
include a specific RESET instruction.

Good luck.

Does anyone know if i can or what the command is in the AVR compiler to
do a reset via software?
I have a timeout interrupt from an external timer module which i want
to use to cause the interupt which ends up resetting the 8515.

many thanks
