How do I reset a Stratix IV Dev. board via system console?

I.e., rather than press the button on the board, I want to send a TCL command to cause a reset.

The JTAG-to-Avalon-MM bridge has a reset_request output that you can use as a reset input to your logic. Its discussed in this tutorial

I'm pretty sure I just tied it to an LED in the tutorial, but you can use it as a reset source in a real design.
