Reset causes for machine.reset()

[Jardar]

I got a GPy with pysense and when i do a soft reset in code
machine.reset()

The documentation states that the reset cause should be:
"Resets the device in a manner similar to pushing the external RESET button"

However the reset cause I get is WDT_RESET (2).
While when I do a button reset on the GPY I get PWRON_RESET (0).

Is this a known bug?

Thanks.

Is there a way to distinguish a WDT reset (fault condition) vs. a intenden reset by machine.reset()?

Best regards

Hi @jardar
"similar" is the key word there, actually machine.reset() is a watchdog reset you found, more like a soft reset and different in several ways from pushing the physical reset button (which drives the reset line of the ESP32)

But I agree maybe the documentation could be more clear on that.
