It now configures and the software seems to start. It looks like there's some problem with the software, though, in that it doesn't send anything out the JTAG UART. The software is meant to write to a bunch of LCD screens but instead of writing the expected data writes garbage. If the same elf file from step 3 is downloaded with nios2-download then it operates correctly.

Perhaps there is some initialization phase that gets incorrectly skipped, eg., check the .bss area is cleared, etc.
