What do you mean by "reset"?

Please remind me what this "trick" is?

I disagree - a comparison (especially of the boot loader, not necessarily the 
main software) could be instructive.

Be thankful for small mercies :))

You mean copying the firmware for interest's sake, or with the idea of copying 
from the E1/E2 to the E3?

I really doubt that E1/E2 firmware would work on an E3.  Different CPUs, for a 
start.

Remember that there was a day when people wrote firmware for devices from 
scratch, without using an "operating system".  It's only since the days when 
embedded devices like wireless routers, telephones, televisions etc have had 
enough CPU and RAM to run Linux that this has been a simpler starting point.
