System reset

Performs reset of system. The device should issue response before resetting so that the SMP client could receive information that the command has been accepted. By default, this command is accepted in all conditions, however if the CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_OS_RESET_HOOK is enabled and an application registers a callback, the callback will be called when this command is issued and can be used to perform any necessary tidy operations prior to the module rebooting, or to reject the reset request outright altogether with an error response. For details on this functionality, see MCUmgr Callbacks.

CBOR data of request:

{
    (str,opt)"query"  : (str)

}

where:

<response>	Response to “query”. This is optional and may be left out in case when query yields no response, SMP version 2 error code of OS_MGMT_ERR_QUERY_YIELDS_NO_ANSWER is expected. Response may have more than one parameter reported back or it may be a map, that is dependent on bootloader backednd and query.
…	Parameter characteristic information.

Parameter may be accompanied by additional, parameter specific, information keywords with assigned values.

In case of error the CBOR data takes the form:

Bootloader Information: MCUboot

In case when MCUboot is application bootloader, empty request will be responded with:

{
    (str)"bootloader"      : (str)"MCUboot"
}

Currently “MCUboot” supports querying for mode of operation:

{
    (str)"query"           : (str)"mode"
}

Response to “mode” is:

{
    (str)"mode"                     : (int)
    (str,opt)"no-downgrade"         : (bool)
}

where “mode” is one of:

-1	Unknown mode of MCUboot.
0	MCUboot is in single application mode.
1	MCUboot is in swap using scratch partition mode.
2	MCUboot is in overwrite (upgrade-only) mode.
3	MCUboot is in swap without scratch mode.
4	MCUboot is in DirectXIP without revert mode.
5	MCUboot is in DirectXIP with revert mode.
6	MCUboot is in RAM loader mode.

The no-downgrade field is a flag, which is always sent when true, indicating that MCUboot has downgrade prevention enabled; downgrade prevention means that if the uploaded image has a lower version than the currently running application, it will not be used for an update by MCUboot.

MCUmgr may reject images with a lower version in this configuration.
