Why won't the component editor let me set my signal type to "resetrequest" for an Avalon master?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Component editor 7.2 does not provide support for the "resetrequest" signal type.  However, this is a valid Avalon® signal and its use is supported during SOPC Builder generation.

As a workaround set the signal type for your Avalon component to "read" in the component editor.  Then save your component close both the component editor and SOPC Builder and open the *_hw.tcl file for your component. 

Search the TCL file for the line that assigns the resetrequest signal.  It should resemble:

add_port_to_interface "avalon_master" "resetrequest" "read"

Change this to read:

add_port_to_interface "avalon_master" "resetrequest" "resetrequest"

Then open SOPC Builder and generate your system.  SOPC Builder will generate a warning message indicating that resetrequest is an unknown signal type.  However, you can safely ignore this warning.
