NVIC_SystemReset() is in reality NVIC_CoreReset()? STM32F105rbT6

[Javier1]

Hi , i couldnt find any clear solution to this issue:

I need to trigger a software System Reset to enter into stm32´s bootloader.

 

• So far NVIC_SystemReset() only resets the core and i cant use it to enter stm32 bootloader, am i missing something?

NVIC_SystemReset();

• Reloading the IWDG with the wrong value also triggers a core reset?

WRITE_REG((_hiwg)->Instance->KR, (IWDG_KEY_RELOAD+1));

The only way i´ve been able to generate a System reset has been letting the IWDG counter reach 0 :\

Please tell us what your MCU / series is.

of course : STM32F105rbT6

Don't have a F1 device on my bench. But

How did you find out?

If you can check that a low pulse on NRST is generated --> system reset. In addition, start a timer PWM which should stop after system reset. Tested on a STM32L432KC.

You can set the IWDG timeout as small as 100µs @40 kHz LSI clock. Shouldn't be a problem.

After reset you can inspect IWDGRSTF flag in RCC_CSR register to differenciate an IWDG reset from a normal reset. With some code in the Reset_Handler you may safely jump to system memory in that case without needing external circuitry.

My f105 is driving some leds with pwm and gpios, so when a system reset happens all LED go off (quite visual)

If just a core reset happens the LEDs remain lit.

ill check this , thanks

I am exploring this option now, my plan is to jumpAddress to the factory stm bootloader after deactivating interruptions, timers and watchdogs.
