This could be done in "application" space. If necassary, use a static
constructor with the appropriate priority. Otherwise do it from
cyg_user_start().

Reseting flash has to be done by hardware, not software. If the CPU
does it via software, you are going to get into trouble, when you get
a reboot part way through a flash operation, leaving the flash in
write mode, resulting in yet another crash. 

Other bits of hardware should be reset by there respective device
drivers.

Making the RAM/ROM bigger can sometimes be a problem, granted.
