14.9.1 MCU Status Register
Name: MCUSR
Offset: 0x54 [ID-000004d0]
Reset: 0x00
Property: When addressing as I/O Register: address offset is 0x34
To make use of the Reset flags to identify a reset condition, the user should read and then Reset the
MCUSR as early as possible in the program. If the register is cleared before another reset occurs, the
source of the reset can be found by examining the Reset Flags.
When addressing I/O registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, the provided offset must be
used. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the offset is reduced by 0x20, resulting in an
I/O address offset within 0x00 - 0x3F.
The device is a complex microcontroller with more peripheral units than can be supported within the 64
locations reserved in Opcode for the IN and OUT instructions. For the extended I/O space from 0x60 in
SRAM, only the ST/STS/STD and LD/LDS/LDD instructions can be used.

This bit is set if a Brown-out Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a '0' to it.
Bit 1 – EXTRF External Reset Flag
This bit is set if an external Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a '0' to it.
Bit 0 – PORF Power-on Reset Flag
This bit is set if a Power-on Reset occurs. The bit is reset only by writing a '0' to it.
