I see, so reset_in is getting the value of the external reset line (because it’s assigned from an inout wire). >> by default before “reset_en” goes active. But since “reset” is not registered but both are triggered by “reset_en”, it seems like there’s an undefined region during that change where “reset_in” could be driving the inverse of 0 (1 or active high). That’s probably what resets your config register. >> >> If you tell me what you want this to do, I can suggest how to fix. > As noted previously: > > "It's supposed to allow the reset line to reset the registers, but the soft reset should reset the machine (through the RESET pin) but not reset the registers.

That way, folks could set up the banks they want, hide the registers (if desired), and then hit the soft reset functionality to start the machine up again with the right memory config. I think the problem is here: ### assign reset_in = (reset_en ? 0 : !reset); //if soft reset, 0, otherwise !reset register #(.WIDTH(6)) cart_config1_reg(clock, reset_in, cart_config1_reg_ce, data[5:0], cart_config1); // active high reset. ### If the external reset line goes low (which it does when you set reset_en to do a soft reset), reset_in goes high and the config register is reset. Just stop passing reset_in to the config register and get it from a different source. -Nate Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2015-09-10 06:00:42
