1.2.1.16 Reboot Module
The Reboot module will allow a user to remotely reboot the MCHP device that is running the TCP/IP stack. This feature is primarily used for bootloader applications, which must reset the device to enter the bootloader code section. This module will execute a task that listens on a specified UDP port for a packet, and then reboots if it receives one.
