Reset Button

Hello, I just run in following issue. I try to configure an UART to send some bytes. To check the configuration, I just let the program loop, after the sending. Attached an osziloskop to the pin where I've expected the TX signal and pressed the RESET button on my eval board (first tried with PCA10003 then moved to PCA10028) and expected the firmware to start at the reset handler.

Later I realized that I see the expected signal at the osziloskop, when I flash new software on the board:

  • Pressing Reset Button: no reset
  • flashing firmware: reset

Then I've search for the schematic of on of both and finaly found a link, here in the forum (btw. when you search fo PCA10003 in the Nordic Infocenter, you will not find any usefull information; duno how I'm supposed to find that information):

Anyway, I found the schematic and was shocked to see that the RESET button is not actually reseting the nrf51. Why is that? Do I realy have to pull and plug the USB cable to do a reset? Or to use JTAG for that? Can we have a "REAL RESET" button on the next version of the eval board? ;-)

kind regards, Torsten
