Reset Button

Why NiosII IDE doesn't have a Reset Button? I have to recompile project and re-download code every time I need to reset my program.

Hi bgratten:

In fact, increastal compilation has been used in NiosII IDE, so the recompiling time is very short if no source files are changed.

Due to the special software architecture, the binary that is downloaded into board will be modified during running time. So it has to re-download the code.

But the reset time of the current version is too long to accept, I myself think it has a large space to reduce. Hope the next version will be much better...
