The reset line would indeed be released on the next falling clock. > Yes, I agree. Continuous assignment, wires, etc. aren’t registered, so > you have to be sure about relative timing of the signals.

As I am debugging the code, I have come to a different conclusion, but I am not sure how to debug it, as I think it requires someone to look at the Verilog in entirety. On a hunch, I removed reset_in from all of the registers, so no reset would ever happen. But, when I synthesize, the RTL has all register reset assigned to !reset, so I am at a loss as to why the connection is being made (literally, I put 0 in all register parm lists for the reset signal). I see no reason why the inverter should be there, but I am still debugging.
