Even though I got a warning about the conflict between then BSP reset address of 0x00000000 and the command line of --reset=0xB4A0000 it did produce a .FLASH file. I used this .FLASH file with

"nios2-flash-programmer --base=0x08000000 my_prog_4_24_sw.flash" and it programmed the FLASH fine, however when booting it the NIOS Console did not display my prompt. So I tried a simple

program that displays on the LEDs a software generated count and it works ! In other words the SW which was burned into FLASH booted and ran fine.

I still don't know why it does not access the NIOS Console.
