9The HW Info API provides access to hardware information such as device
10identifiers and reset cause flags.
11
12Reset cause flags can be used to determine why the device was reset; for
13example due to a watchdog timeout or due to power cycling. Different devices
14support different subset of flags. Use
15:c:func:`hwinfo_get_supported_reset_cause` to retrieve the flags that are
16supported by that device.
