- Hi Mike,
In effect yes. I was wondering if the device/circuit which drives the reset pin of the OMAP processor is also
connected to the FPGA and if yes, which pin.

- MW 07:49 PM FPGA Development: RE: Hardware Reset
- When there is a power on reset, the FPGA will be re-initialized (the program pin is pulled low) and will require reprogramming.
Are you looking for an additional pin that may be used to reset just the FPGA?
-Mike
- Hi There,
Is there a pin on the MityDSP-L138F processor board FPGA which is attached to a
dedicated power-on/hardware reset source which can be used to initialise/reset registers?
Kind regards,
Steven Bremner.
