This error message indicates that SystemConsole did not get a response from the JTAG avalon master you are using.

First please rule out all the common failures - there should be no timing analysis failures from Quartus; the clock should be running and reset should not be held asserted.

If so then the problem may be in the slave which you have at address 0x1000000 so that might be worth investigating.
