I would like to know if the Reset Button can be used on Mikrotik RB532 ?

If not yet directly supported, where can I find technical information about how to write a piece of software that can do the job ?

Thanks.

Thank you... but I know where is located the Reset Button ;-)

What I want is to be able to use it into my softwares, so I need to check its state.

Yes, at least with a RouterBoard 532.
For this card, the button state is passed to the kernel as parameter (gpio=...).
So you can have the button state at startup (but only at startup) by reading the kernel command line.

The discussion might have continued from here.
