I’d like to initiate a reset from the command line.

@ronm, you can create a Spark.function () to do a software reset if you have the new bootloader with the code below:

If you just want your core to reboot, (and not do a factory reset) you only need (I believe):

```
 USB_Cable_Config(DISABLE);
 NVIC_SystemReset();

```

Thanks,
