it looks like you're using a lead-free device. the flash programmer doesn't....yet, support these devices.
you need to save the following text to <nios2_install>/bin/nios2-flash-override.txt:
# epcs1n (lead-free)
sector_size = 32768
sector_count = 4
# epcs4n (lead-free)
sector_size = 65536
sector_count = 8
please report back with any further issues that you have.
cheers,

[updated]: though i'm not sure, you may have to modify the hal flash abstraction commands....if you have a need to access the flash from your software.

But this is a very BIG slip up by Altera. They better put a patch in real quick - I wasted half a week on this ! Maybe you should put a post up informing all people who are using the EPCS devices that are lead free ! Could you please give me more information on what you wrote :- UPDATED]: Though I'm not sure, you may have to modify the HAL flash abstraction commands....if you have a need to access the flash from your software. Thanks again for the response and the help, now finnaly i can get on with the debug ! Shmuel
