Abstract
A hardware based detection approach for detecting a CPU reset request and a CPU boot process that resets control parameters that control operation of the CPU are described. Described embodiments of the hardware based detection approach store a count of clock cycles that elapse while a CPU reset request switch is actuated. As part of the reset process, the CPU retrieves the stored clock cycle count and based on the value of the retrieved clock cycle count, i.e., based on the duration that the CPU reset switch was physically actuated, the CPU boot process resets one or more sets of CPU control parameters to original factory settings.
