why must I have to reset the board?

Hi, all: My device driver is made for a board which has Intel i960 running
VxWorks on it. I assume the i960 automatically reset the hardware during the
initialization, but actually it turns out that I have to reset board
manually which makes RESET bit in EBCR to 1. Otherwise, it does not work.
Could somebody tell me why? Thanks.
