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 '16 at 1:56
    
What about WDT? – Anuj Mattóõ Jul 22 '16 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 '16 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 '16 at 10:08
    
@JaromandaX could you please post your comment as an answer? I'd like to see this question have a proper answer so it will no longer be bumped by Community. – per1234 Dec 19 '16 at 23:08

Software reset in ESP8266 is achieved using ESP.reset()

as per WDT, the other answer has info on that, i.e. software WDT is cleared using yield() - hardware WDT is not accessible through software
