How to set the reset signal of Nios cpu?

Anybody know which pin should I connect to the reset signal of a Nios II cpu? The board I am using is "Stratix II EP2S60 DSP development board". Thanks a lot! Ruling

another issue to consider is that when the cpu comes out of reset, all the other devices must be ready for the cpu.

i've added a delayed reset block before the cpu. this delays the cpu coming out of reset so that all the other devices are ready.

also be careful i found that the delayed resets included in eval boards did not work.

George:

Would you mind expanding on your findings with resetting the NIOS II? I am having a problem now where I reset the NIOS II (actually, the whole SOPC system, as well as several components outside of the system) and the NIOS II refuses to restart. If you could let me know how much delay you are adding and anything helpful tips, I would be much obliged.

Thanks,

Brian
