This does not work, because you cannot  run  any  flash  driver  code
(which  will  set  the  flash  into programming mode and thus prevent
reading normal data) while you are still running from flash  (so  you
need to be able to fetch instructions and data from flash).

And it is a very bad idea anyway  as  each  reset  would  reduce  the
filetime of your product.

Best regards,

I wish Captain Vimes were here. He wouldn't have  known  what  to  do
either, but he's got a much better vocabulary to be baffled in.
