nios2-terminal, by itself does not actually download your code. It merely connects to an already running process.... You'd have to do something like the following: 

nios2-download -g <your_program>.elf && nios2-terminal

If you have multiple JTAG cables and/or devices, then you&#39;d have to be concerned with specifying those on the command lines as well.

It&#39;s also possible that your jtag_uart has timed out. Unlike a standard UART, the jtag_uart will timeout if you don&#39;t have a host program (such as nios2-terminal) connected to it.

That&#39;s about all I can think of, given the information you posted.
