Just a quick reset here:

The original post stated you had a EP2S60 DSP kit and then you were using the Stratix II Nios II project as a starting point. The Stratix II Nios II development board is not the same as the Stratix II DSP kit even though they both use the EP2S60 device. One of the differences between the two boards is that the DSP kit doesn't even have an EPCS device on it. The DSP kit uses a bulk flash device and a CPLD to configure itself.

I think you're going to have to create a simple Nios design with a parallel Flash Programmer and then create the JIC file to talk to that.
