Subject: timeout/hardreset a device manually?
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2009 15:56:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49997EAA.7050604@wpkg.org> (raw)

Is it possible to "timeout" and/or "hardreset" a device "manually"?

I'm trying to debug a weird system freeze, I think being able to make 
the device "timeout" and eventually "hardreset" would be helpful in 
diagnosing this problem.

In other words, I'd like to be able to "manually" achieve this:
