I think that the general approach is to make sure that your application is never
too far from a consistant state. A reset can occur at any time if someone
sticks a pin in the back of the device. When that happens, there is NO warning.
The hardware is reset, the program counter is re-initialized, and the device
boots.

Subject: Is is possible to hook a RESET beforehand?
I realize that the app receives a sysAppLaunchCmdSystemReset AFTER a
soft reset has taken place.
But is there any method to detect that a reset is occuring before it
actually happens? (App RESET notification)
For example. right before the power goes out, the app gets a
vchrPowerOff or vchrAutoOff event.
Anything like this for a RESET?
My goal is to have my App get its databases into a safe state before the
reset occurs and the current information is lost.
Thanks!
