IMHO your program doesn't even start or it doesn't reach the main() function. You probably have a problem with hw configuration/initialization.

System initialization is performed by the alt_main() function which then calls your application main().

Try this:

- compile the syslib in debug mode

- search in Altera components for alt_main() function in alt_main.c file.

- place a breakpoint at the very beginning of alt_main and start debugging; the step into the code and you should see where it gets stuck.
