Hi,

 

When my main app is running, I want to fall back to bootloader. To do that I set some flags  in flash then issue a software reset. I googled on how to software reset SAMD20 and it turns out that I have to reset the core by writing to the AIRCR reg. This is where I got the info:

 

cortex user guide

 

However the s/w reset is resulting in a hardware fault. 

 

This is my code:

(*(uint32_t*) 0xE000ED0C) = (0x05FA << 16) | 0x04;

It looks like that address is not mapped? Is there some other way to reset SAMD20 using start project?

 

thanks for your help

This topic has a solution.

Probably the best way out is to use the WDT timer.

I ended up using WDT. I let it overflow and reset the system.

I setup WDT in Atmel Start project then I called this function. For some reason when I try to add code, browser just hangs....

void software_reset_mcu()
{
    uint32_t clk_rate;
    uint16_t timeout_period;

    clk_rate       = 1000;

    timeout_period = 8192;
    wdt_set_timeout_period(&WDT_0, clk_rate, timeout_period);
    wdt_enable(&WDT_0);
    while (1)
    ;
}

What "browser" are you talking about??

I believe (s)he is referring to the known forum bug of trying to use the <> button here.

Hi there,

my SAMD21 can perform a software reset by executing the following line: NVIC_SystemReset();
You may also want to look up this in-built function (NVIC_SystemReset). It is in file core_cm0plus.h.

In my application I use a bootloader + main app code. All this stuff only works correctly when following this sequence:

- of course first erase the microcontroller and program the bootloader into it.

- program the main app code into the microcontroller in a higher memory region.

- unplug the program adapter (I use J-Link).

- important: power the microcontroller off and then on again. Without giving the microcontroller a clean restart after having programmed bootloader + main app, the soft-reset will not (always) work later on.

Cheers!
