Thanks for your tip!
On my pandaborad, system will boot after Re-inserting the SD Card.
It seems that SD Card insert event will trigger the booting procedure.

Hi Guys,

I have struggled today for some time to soft-reset panda board because
the switch S1 (PWRON_RESET) resets the board, but doesn't
start booting it again from xloader. Prompt simply hangs !!

My kernel was crashing after uncompressing linux... print. I didn't
had a debugger
to see value of __log_buf variable. So i wanted to soft reset the board and
check content of memory at address pointed by __log_buf.

I wanted to keep the contents of RAM as it is, so can't reboot it by unplugging
the power cable.

At last i found the trick to soft-reset the board with help of S1
button. Following
are the steps:

- Press S1 once, LED D1 will switch off
- remove SD card
- reinsert the card
- Press S1 again, LED D1 will switch on and board is rebooted, keeping RAM's
contents as is.

Hope, this will help somebody in future.
