Random Resets

I have a design built into a Cyclone III running uClinux on a NIOS II at 100 MHz. I am seeing random resets (linux reboot). They may be tied to accessing a pio in SOPC, but I do not have enough data ...

We appear to be ok on timing. I am working with a designer that is very experienced with this type of design.

We are using Altera's DDR interface to run mobile ddr - not quite correct, but workable. We have a Microtronix and are thinking of changing to that IP.

Another data point. If I write to a non-existent address and purposely crash the application code, the video pipeline never fails.
