    Hello sir,

    Kindly check the following items:

    1- Make sure you use a clock source to Serial Flash controller IP (EPCQ) up to 25MHz (MAX).

    2- Make sure your Nios II is running at 50MHz.

    3- Make sure the MSEL is pointing to the correct flash configuration:

    If using QUAD, MSEL should be 10010

    If using STANDARD, MSEL should be 10011

    Please let me know if this could help you.

    Thanks

Please refer to which booting method you using and configure the BSP setting accordingly in here https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/iga1446487888057.html#fwl1479912385825, Nios II Configuration and Booting Solutions, Table26. I would suggest you could start from the flash booting and running code in OCRAM and then move to your booting method, ie flash -> SDRAM. Just use as simple as "Hello world" app code in both tests.
