Hardware Information
####################

Overview
********

The HW Info API provides access to hardware information such as device
identifiers and reset cause flags.

Reset cause flags can be used to determine why the device was reset; for example
due to a watchdog timeout or due to power cycling. Different devices support different
subset of flags. Use `hwinfo_get_supported_reset_cause` to retrieve the flags
that are supported by that device.
