nios2-gdb-server only resets its cpu if it has to because always resetting it will break some multiprocessor systems.

as you've figured out, there is a parameter which can be added to nios2-gdb-server which will force nios2-gdb-server to always reset the cpu.

if you want to integrate this into the ide then you should hack the shell script nios2-download to set --reset-target if an elf file is provided. note that the ide calls nios2-download twice at the moment, once before nios2-terminal and once after. hacking your shell scripts is of course not supported by altera.

thanks for this switch,

however it would be usefull if ALTERA implements a switch in the debugger

settings to provide a reset.

there should be some note in the documents that there is no reset.
