If you only have onchip memory then you probably don't want to (can't) use printf - it creates/occupies too much code space. I'm surprised it compiles...

You probably need to use "alt_printf". This creates minimal code, ideal for Nios implementations using onchip memory only. Refer to the "nios ii classic software developer’s handbook (https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii5v2.pdf)".
