    Hi

    As suspected in the thread : https://community.intel.com/t5/Nios-V-II-Embedded-Design-Suite/flash-programmer-issue/m-p/1688748#M53698 the flash M25P64 may not be officially supported.

    You may be able to workaround by finding a supported flash that matches it's configuration parameters such as opcodes & dummy clock cycles and use it's preset in the tools. However this may not be guaranteed to work as it's not verified by Altera.

    Let me know if you had any questions.

    Regards,

    Divya
