NIOS2 IDE feature request

Altera_Forum · ‎11-10-2004

Hello,

I've got multiple custom Avalon peripherals in my system that need to be reset upon every software download. The NIOS2 IDE doesn't always do this, only if "the processor is not responding" ("Pausing target processor: not responding. Resetting and trying again: OK"). I'd like to have a checkbox in the debug setup window "Always reset processor upon download", or even better, I can append custom command line options to the download program ("--reset-target").

Noted. I'll keep it in mind for the next release.

Argh, sometimes workarounds are so simple that they are impossible to see:

Open altera/kits/nio2/bin/nios2-download with your favorite editor and change the line

"reset-target=no"

to

"reset-target=yes"
