    Check if Nios reset and exception vectors are placed in a valid memory area.

    Also try Debug instead of Run

    Check the reset signal

    What command are you using? I usually go with nios2-download -g -r file.elf

    Check if JTAG UART core is included in Qsys design, if everything is in there try to rebuild the system from scratch (delete the whole project file and build it again), I faced the same problem and tried to rebuild the system again from scratch and it worked.
