    What is your project name? Do you have a space in your project path by any chance? Spaces can confuse the building tools.

    those kind of files should only be needed if you intend to flash your application, not if you just want to run it. How do you try to run your application? Did you set any flashing or programming options?

    I have no idea why SBT is trying to generate a .srec file or using nios2elf-objcopy. It should just make an .elf file, and then use nios2-download to send it to the Nios system. Is there any more information on the error, like the fulll command it was trying to execute?
