First off, I'd try getting the IDE/SBT for Eclipse out of the way.... From a "Nios II Command Shell" (or a properly configured shell on Linux) change directories to where your ELF file is stored and type the following command: 

nios2-download -g <your ELF.elf> && nios2-terminal

and report what you see back here. If this command doesn't appear to work, please also try typing: 

jtagconfig -n

and report the results here, as well.

This will help to determine whether the issue you're seeing is GUI/Eclipse related, JTAG chain related, hardware/FPGA design related or...something else.
