Hi,
thanks, that's indeed incorrect/outdated in the documentation. The correct way is to use device.reinit() and device.activate() as described for the C++ standalone mode in Brian2 : https://brian2.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/computation.html#multiple-builds

I.e., the following should work for Brian2GeNN as well:

from brian2 import *
import brian2genn
set_device('genn')
run(1*second)

device.reinit()
device.activate()

run(1*second)

@mstimberg Thank you, it's working. Also, thank you for updating the docs.
