Hello there, I'm having the same problem here since I set my NIOS reset_vector to the external EPCS flash memory from the external SDRAM.

But, if I make a JIC with my Sof and Elf files and then burn the flash, it works fine. Otherwise (with the reset vector at SDRAM) the software would not boot. Make sure your reset_vector is at SDRAM so it will not load the software image at flash upon your just downloaded elf at sdram.
