I am working on ESP8266 in Arduino IDE. I want to know how to Software RESET the ESP8266. Any sketch/example would be useful. Moreover, how to initialise WDT in ESP8266.

Kindly help!

from memory, it's ESP.reset() – Jaromanda X Jul 22 at 1:56
    
What about WDT? – Anuj Mattóõ Jul 22 at 9:20
    
IIRC the WDT is always enabled on the ESP8266. A simple while(1); would make it reset. Or use the official ESP.reset(); function. – Majenko Jul 22 at 9:46

What about WDT? If you want a stupid way of triggering the WDT, then do so, but the end result is the same, but .reset is immediate – Jaromanda X Jul 22 at 10:08

Actually ESP8266 has two WDTs, software and hardware. Hardware WDT we can't control from arduino programming. To clear software WDT you can use yield function.
