Tutorial 6: Reset

The reset characteristics of registers is different depending on the type of reset. The tutorial demonstrates that on a power on reset the status register is detectable different to a wake up from sleep master reset and also that on a Master Reset the main registers are unchanged. This is used to facilitate a Master reset counter with a startup value set by the Power on reset. It also demonstrates the reset vector which is at address 1FFH for PIC16C54,55 3FF for PIC16C55 and 7FF for PIC16C57 by placing an infinite loop at address 0 which is never entered because a jump at the reset vector jumps directly to the Start Label.
