Re: Bootloader not always invoked after reset with P0.14 low

2006-02-23 by Guillermo Prandi

My code is clearing the RISR flags at boot time by doing:

#define RSIR (*((volatile unsigned char *) 0xE01FC180))

RSIR = 0x0f;

After that, the boards still ignores P0.14 after a watchdog reset. 
Since I cleared the watchdog reset flag, I expected the bootloader to 
invoke ISP. Is there anything else I could do from software in order 
to make the bootloader honor the P0.14 pin?
