Arduino for STM32

is it possible to reset the board (or mcu) by code, instead of pressing the connected pin "reset" button?

The fact that it "can" be done does not mean that it is a good idea. In-code resets are not identical to hardware resets; thus, you can leave registers and I/O pins in an unknown state. Some "core" implementations do have hardware calls which simulate the hardware reset-button line but you must remember such code is chip-specific.

1) use the watch dog timer(s) - if you don't feed the watch dog, it resets the device;
2) use a gpio pin to pull down the mcu line;
3) jump to the reset start address - not a full reset, however.
4) call the device start-up routine, often _main().
5) call the reset handler. for CMSIS-based environment, that's default_reset_handler() in the start up file.
6) call SystemInit() - not a true reset
...

aka lots of ways to get varying degrees of "reset-ness".
