#define IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_HAL, 15, METHOD_BUFFERED, FILE_ANY_ACCESS)

extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) BOOL KernelIoControl(DWORD dwIoControlCode, LPVOID lpInBuf, DWORD nInBufSize, LPVOID lpOutBuf, DWORD nOutBufSize, LPDWORD lpBytesReturned);

//soft reset the device. Return true if OK, false if error

BOOL ResetDevice()

{

return KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);

}
