You say you have 2 files to download to EPCS, don't you ?

C_epcs.flash to configure the FPGA

and C_SOPC_epcs.flash is your embedded NIOS II program.

BUT you try to write the both at the same address in EPCS.

Your FPGA configuration C_epcs.flash whould be at address 0x00

Your embedded software should be located after the FPGA configuration.

look at documentation of nios2-programmer, flash to epcs converter, generation of .pof file (specially to epcs)... They describe how to insert software program after the FPGA configuration.
