Are you talking about a real excalibur dev board with an ARM device? Or a Nios dev board?

For Nios dev board, just power the board down then up, open an SDK window, (hopefully you are on later version of Nios) type

ns recovery_configuration_apex_20k200.sof

let it download

then type nr default_board_image_apex_20k200.flash

let it download

this is all documented in the kit.

Tell me if this doesn't work.

if ns doesn't work, you have an old kit. You'll have to open Quartus and download the sof through the programmer.
