Finally, I borrowed a CycloneII dev board, and worked out.

You should have quartusII v5.1 sp1, and NiosII v5.1 sp1.

There is no need to strip the vmlinux.

First open the project and download the sof of your board with QuartusII programmer. eg, if you use CycloneII dev board,

it is altera/kits/nios2/examples/verilog/niosII_cycloneII_2c35/standard/ standard.sof

Next, open two "Nios II SDK shell" windows.

From one, run "nios2-terminal".

From two, run "nios2-download -g vmlinux"
