Hi, sorry for the late response. Somehow I missed this.

It's not a part of the published host API, but the following function
should cause the host to reset the controller:
void ble_hs_sched_reset(int reason)
The reason code doesn't matter; it is just something the host uses when
reporting terminated connections. You can just specify 1.
Since this function isn't part of the API, you'll need to declare a
prototype by hand:
void ble_hs_sched_reset(int reason);
Thanks,
Chris
