Thanks Jake,

When I compile from these steps I see the timestamp change on the .hex so I know it’s being modified. Of course then when I recompile from with Quartus my .sof and .pof timestamps change as well leading me to believe that my files are being updated with the NIOS code, but when I use the byteblaster on my DE0 development board I get NO code execution. The LEDs show that something is happening (hardware configuration) just no CPU functionality. As I mentioned in a previous post if I just run from the debugger everything works.

Am I doing something stupid like not building a release version of the NIOS code?
