The easiest way to get the NIOS II Flash Programmer working is using the GUI. I think there is a menu item for it in the Eclipse SBTs or you can run nios2-flash-programmer-gui from the console.

In the GUI, choose "New" on the File menu and then point it to your .sopcinfo file. Click the "Add..." button to add your sof and elf files. Click the "Start" button to program the flash.

Before the Nios II Flash Programmer can work, you must already have the SOF file corresponding to the .sopcinfo file you used active in the FPGA. You can use the Nios II Programmer or the nios2-configure-sof command line to load the SOF file first.
