When the machine locks up, I don't want to have to push a button or unplug it since most of the time, I am not in the same vicinity as the machine. Leaving a serial console attached and remoting into another machine is easier and cheaper, then other alternatives. I could send a signal from a gpio to the jtag_reset (or short it), but the machine I would -want- to use doesn't have a gpio, and I don't want to spend money for multiple jtags when it seems more logical to do it through the serial console.?

As soon as U-Boot gives control to the payload (Linux or whatever)
there is no possible assumption that U-Boot remains intact in RAM, so
your only chance is indeed some hardware reset... But then the question
is not related to U-Boot any more.

No problem.

Amicalement,
