15 years agoCyclone reset/POR
Hi, I'm using the cyclone EP1C6 device. Just to make sure - which pin can be used as the reset state monitoring pin, meaning that in the VHDL code I can write (for example): if (reset = '0') the...

You can refer to the POR by setting initial values for signals. In Verilog, they are set from an initial block. You can also rely on the fact, that all Verilog registers respectively VHDL signals are initialized to zero unless you set the global "power-up don't care" synthesis option. So for synthesis, you would only need to specify non-zero initial content of registers. In ModelSim functional simulation howver, all registers have an unknown 'U' state. If the design is intended for simulation, you should also explicitely include the zero initialization.
