    I finally figured out how to solve this.

    It is mainly due to any mistake during the nios ii design, especially connections related to the memory where the ELF file will reside.

    In my case, the ELF was to be uploaded in onchip memory, which was connected to the reset from the nios ii core , but that reset from the core was not connected to any input signal. Once I connect it ti (1) or VCC the debugging was completed sucesfuly.
