Reset Controller Module

The reset controller is provided to determine the cause of reset, assert the appropriate reset signals to the system, and then to keep a history of what caused the reset. The Low Voltage Detection module, which generates low-voltage detect (LVD) interrupts and resets, is implemented within the reset controller module.
