1.4.6.2. Determining the Reset Sequence Requirement

You can view the c-cycle value in the Reset Sequence Requirement section of the Compilation Report. The report lists the number of cycles to add on a clock domain basis. The following Reset Sequence Requirement report indicates that the clk domain requires adding 10 additional cycles to the reset sequence to ensure correct functionality.
