Take a look at this (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/jtagstandalone), on the Nios Wiki.

After following these instructions, you can then configure your Ubuntu host to serve as a remote JTAG host (NOTE: jtagd _must_ be run as a service for this to function!]. As root, type 

jtagconfig --enableremote <your_password>

Cheers, and Good Luck!
