There are two groups of reset sources:
z
Power Reset: Resets caused by an electrical issue.
z
User Reset: Resets caused by the application.
The table below lists the parts of the device that are reset, depending on the reset type.
The external reset is generated when pulling the RESET pin low. This pin has an internal pull-up, and does not need to 
be driven externally during normal operation.
The POR, BOD12 and BOD33 reset sources are generated by their corresponding module in the System Controller 
Interface (SYSCTRL).
The WDT reset is generated by the Watchdog Timer.
The System Reset Request (SysResetReq) is a software reset generated by the CPU when asserting the 
SYSRESETREQ bit located in the Reset Control register of the CPU (See the ARM
®
 Cortex

).
