Number $02
Readable Yes
Writable Yes
Short Description Identifies type of last reset. Can be written to force reset.

Read:

 bit 7 = 1 if the reset signal to the expansion bus and esp is asserted
 bits 6:5 = Reserved
 bit 4 = 1 if multiface nmi was generated by an i/o trap (experimental, see nextreg 0xda)
 bit 3 = 1 if multiface nmi was generated by this nextreg
 bit 2 = 1 if divmmc nmi was generated by this nextreg
 bit 1 = 1 if the last reset was a hard reset
 bit 0 = 1 if the last reset was a soft reset
 * Only one of bits 1:0 will be set

Write:

 bits 6:5 = Reserved must be zero
 bit 4 = Clear i/o trap (write zero to clear) (experimental) **
 bit 3 = Generate multiface nmi (write zero to clear) **
 bit 2 = Generate divmmc nmi (write zero to clear) **
 bit 1 = Generate a hard reset (reboot) *
 bit 0 = Generate a soft reset *
 * Hard reset has precedence
 ** These signals are ignored if the multiface, divmmc, dma or external nmi master is active
 ** Copper cannot clear these bits
 ** An i/o trap could occur at the same time as mf / divmmc cause; always check this bit in nmi isr if important


A useful NEXTREG 2, 8 will trigger the NextZXOS debugger status page, a hardware breakpoint.
