Nios not running (newbie)

Nios does not appear to be running at power-on. I say this because I get nothing from nios2-terminal when executing while(1) { alt_putchar('A')};. I have a Nios Processor, JTAG UART, onchip_memory...

UPDATE:

OK, I decided to start from scratch. Nios CPU + onchip_memory + JTAG UART + PIO. Simple system.

I loaded up the EDS, with the Hello World Small project.

Compiled / P&R, and then programmed the FPGA. The system works. So it looks like I have some issue in my original system. I'm going to add my peripheral onto this new system, recompile, and then see if everything still works....
