MCUSR – MCU Status Register

The MCU Status Register provides information on which reset source caused an MCU reset.

• Bit 4 – JTRF: JTAG Reset Flag

This bit is set if a reset is being caused by a logic one in the JTAG Reset Register selected by

the JTAG instruction AVR_RESET. This bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a logic

zero to the flag.

• Bit 3 – WDRF: Watchdog Reset Flag

This bit is set if a Watchdog Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a

logic zero to the flag.

• Bit 2 – BORF: Brown-out Reset Flag

This bit is set if a Brown-out Reset occurs. The bit is reset by a Power-on Reset, or by writing a

logic zero to the flag.

• 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

logic zero to the flag.

• 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 logic zero to the flag.

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.
