Use bin2flash to generate your flash file. Below is how I write my file system to flash (assuming you have created a flash programmer for your board). The --location, --base, and --flash are specific to my board. Try bin2flash --help, and nios2-flash-programmer --help from the command line.

[SOPC Builder]$ nios2-flash-programmer --base=0x00800000 --device=2 --input=./filesystem.flash --sof=/cygdrive/c/projects/Y0052_nios/Y0052/system/Y0052.sof
