Hi Dave,

This seems un-scientific ... I tried to re-produce the result seen before lunch with the automation folks and was not able to reproduce the result. ie no red MAX_EROR LED.

Does that mean the Cyclone card was in some state that when the nios2-terminal was connected and the card power cycled caused the MAX_ERROR LED to come on ...

Just 1/2 an hour ago I saw another Cyclone card locked up with the MAX_ERROR LED stuck on and in that case the NIOS Eclipse GUI was active not a NIOS Command terminal ... so I agree I need to work some more to get to root cause ... all I can say was that ... whatever I did in my office environment ... I got to a matching behavior as seen in an automation environment.

Let me gather some more info on this and modify the status to .... "trending to solved ....."

Thanks, Bob.
