I don't have watchdog or Jtag UART (only 3 poi 1 flash controller 1 UART232 & 1 onchipmemory). I use niosII/e & the SOF isn't time limited. I have just find a problem with the functions I used to access to the flash. When I remove all these functions the Nios program didn't reboot anymore, but I always need the USB Blaster.
