Compact Flash to boot the target ( using system ACE file to boot the
target), during the process reset or reboot command on the target, I

not
able to reboot the target completely, here is the snapshot:

Where is your boot code located?  In BRAM?  or SDRAM?

It is located in BRAM.

Then most likely the process of booting modifies the initial data in
BRAM such that it will not be able to reboot the system.

How can I reboot the system, while resetting the FPGA core completely ?

To reset and reconfigure the FPGA, you need to modify the systemace

manual for details on how to do this.
