1.6.3 Module reset
SARA-R5 series modules can be gracefully reset (re-booted), triggering the storage of the current
parameter settings in the non-volatile memory of the module and performing a clean network detach
procedure, by:
+CFUN AT command (see SARA-R5 series AT commands manual [2]).
An abrupt software reset of the modules, without storage of the current parameter in the module’s
non-volatile memory and without proper network detach, can be triggered by:
Forcing a low pulse on the RESET_N pin (normally high due to internal pull-up) for a valid time
period (see the SARA-R5 series data sheet [1]).
An abrupt emergency hardware reset of the modules, without storage of the current parameter in the
module’s non-volatile memory and without proper network detach, can be triggered by:
Forcing a low pulse on the PWR_ON pin (normally high due to internal pull-up) for a valid time
period (higher than the period for the graceful switch-off, see the SARA-R5 series data sheet [1]).
It is highly recommended to avoid an abrupt emergency hardware reset during module normal
operation: this should be used only if software reset (via AT commands or via RESET_N pin) or
graceful switch-off (via AT commands or via PWR_ON pin) fails.
As described in Figure 16, the RESET_N input pin is directly connected to the processor core, with an
integrated active pull-up, in order to perform an abrupt software reset when asserted, excluding the
power management unit. Detailed electrical characteristics with voltages and timings are described
in the SARA-R5 series data sheet [1].
