Arduino DUE - software reset

Does anybody know how to restart a program on Arduino DUE programmatically? I tried jumping to address 0x80000 but this simply halts the program.

Thanks in advance.

You can find most of the relevant information to trigger a software reset in Sam3x datasheet RSTC section. There are several ways to trigger a reset, depending on the "deepness" of the Reset.

Here is a code you can use to trigger a software Reset:

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(250000);
  Serial.println("Ready to Reset");
 }

void loop(){
  delay(2000);
 __DSB;
 SCB->AIRCR = ((0x5FA << SCB_AIRCR_VECTKEY_Pos) | SCB_AIRCR_SYSRESETREQ_Msk);//software reset
//RSTC->RSTC_CR = RSTC_CR_KEY(0xA5) | RSTC_CR_PERRST | RSTC_CR_PROCRST;
//NVIC_SystemReset(); 
 
}

Thanks @ard_newbie for your reply,

I indeed tried similar approaches but all of them bring the board to an undefined state where serial comms are not restarted. Anyway, thanks so much for your help.

I suspect there is an issue somewhere in your code because you (normally) don't have to trigger a software Reset. Post your code (between code tags).

However, if Serial outputs weird characters after a Reset, you can try :

1/ To force a Reset of UART registers just before the Serial.begin() in setup():

UART->UART_CR = UART_CR_RSTRX
| UART_CR_RSTTX
| UART_CR_RSTSTA;

2/ Before triggering a software Reset in loop(), write:

Serial.flush();
Serial.end();
__DSB;
__DMB;
__ISB;

}

Thanks for this. It works like a charm.

Is this working with SerialUSB as well?
