I know this issue is old, but I also ran into it and didn't really find a solid answer on google or other threads. However, I have resolved this issue for myself and may be this will be useful serving others.

Background.. using max10M50D F484 eval kit and Nios II helloworld tutorial. I successfully completed the tutorial the first time and pressed the wrong push buttons (one of them is for reset or something..) before validating correctness of button vs. led. Anyways, I rebooted and tried to do the software portion again but was unable to because system IDs were not issued/found. I tried to reprogram the board and do the whole thing over, still no good.

Solution (what worked for me).. I went back and read the portion about setting up nios in qsys and noticed that it specifically said to "uncheck initialize memory content... you will initialize the software executables from Eclipse." I did that and went through the whole process again and was able to successfully see 'hello world' again.

Have a go and good luck!
