Hi alibiman:

My guess is the nios boot loader is looking at the epcs instead of the CFI flash.

Have you tried loading a small "led blink" style program into the EPCS instead of the CFI?

If that works, you could write a small bootloader that's stored in the EPCS that then causes the CFI flash to be loaded and started.
