Abstract
A method for checking the reset function of an embedded processor is described. First, a check is made to see if a reset “flag” is not set (202) before branching to execute the test routine that initiates the embedded processor's reset (206). The test program sets the flag (204) before initiating the reset. When the processor resets and executes the test program from the beginning again, it determines that the flag was set (202), and it does not execute the reset instructions again.
