    hi,

    this problem has been resolved.

    when i try to modify some bytes in one sector/block, the fpga run by mistake, but when i wrote the whole block including the different bytes, it's ok! i don't know why.

    when it run by mistake(under modifying the different bytes), i downloaded an sof file into fpga(not epcs) in quartus, and run nios ii, i read the whole block, i found the whole block was filled with "0xFF".

    I could not get you properly, but you should look at reset location given for NIOS II in your design from where it starts executing program on POR.
