Hi,

According to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii5v1.pdf, JTAG debug module used to provide on-chip emulation features to control the processor remotely from a host PC. Firstly, the design was compiled, then the .sof file and .hex file was generated. These files will be coverted to .jic file. The .jic file is used to configure the data from the host to flash device. Since, the JTAG debug module is disable, then the .jic file is not download to the memory. Hence, there is no result came out.

You have to enable JTAG debug module to solve this problem.

Thanks
