I see it like this: The documentation states (more or less clearly) that SC version doesn't provide configuration schemes with RAM initialization. I don't think that there's an undocumented way to do it though. I would be glad if somebody can correct me in this regard.
10M50 has 16 kByte of UFM. It might be utilized to initialize NIOS code RAM by user logic.

Application note from Altera AN730 describes the process of loading a NIOS program into flash for a "compact" MAX 10, I believe.
Option 2 in that document is the option I am following.
I'm still having difficulty getting it running ... but i think this is the way. i.e the program is put into a FLASH qsys module and then loaded into a RAM qsys module on reset (i.e. startup).
I wish things were simpler and Altera would simply put that option to Initialize the HEX file in Quartus for MAX 10 SC (i.e. compact MAX 10 chips).
Why it has to be so confusing for the "SC" chips is beyond me.
I'm continuing to try and if i meet with any success, I shall report back.
If you run into anything that might help me, do let me know.
