NIOS2 IDE feature request

Question

Hello,  I&amp;#39;ve got multiple custom Avalon peripherals in my system that need to be reset upon every software download. The NIOS2 IDE doesn&amp;#39;t always do this, only if "the processor is not responding" ("Pausing target processor: not responding. Resetting and trying again: OK"). I&amp;#39;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").  Dirk

Noted.  I&amp;#39;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"
