You need to tell us which cable you are using, and indeed which OS. The instructions for ByteBlaster and USB-Blaster are different.

For ByteBlaster (MV or II) on Windows you need to run `jtagconfig --add ByteBlaster lpt1` on the command line. For USB-Blaster on Windows it should just work. Linux is more complex.

ps. You should probably be using the IDE rather than nios-run (which is part of the legacy SDK - the old way of doing things). Once you have something working on the IDE then there are command line alternative ways of using it.
