2.3
Powerup, powerdown, and resets
The two reset push buttons generate the reset request signals on the MPS2 and MPS2+ FPGA
Prototyping Boards.
When you press one of the reset push buttons, Hardware RESET button or ON/OFF/Soft RESET button,
the MCC generates appropriate signals to reset the system.
The MCC asserts nRST after a reset request from the ON/OFF/Soft RESET button. Optionally, when you
set
ASSERTNPOR
The following figure shows the powerup ON/OFF/Soft RESET and Hardware RESET push-button
signals in the system.
•
The board labels the ON/OFF/Soft RESET push button as nPBON.
•
The board labels the Hardware RESET push button as nCFGRST.
The MPS2 and MPS2+ FPGA Prototyping Boards perform a full system configuration at powerup.
