There are several techniques you can use. The quickest (for experimenting) is to use objcopy

to change the section addresses. E.g.:

nios2-elf-objcopy --change-section-address .text=0 foo.elf

You might need to move your other sections as well (.data, .bss, .sbss).

In the long run, you will probably want to just pass the -Ttext option to ld.
