Okay, my fault. There was a typo on the command line. I can generate the hex file and write it into the EPCS device. Thank you for your suggestions.

After repowering the fpga nothing happens, the system does not start. If i reset the nios2 processor (with a button on the board) I can see activity on the epcs clock line. It seems that the nios2 loads the software after a reset. But the software does not run.

Only if I open the nios2-terminal, to have a look at the JTAG UART module, the system starts.

Is there a hidden handbrake anywhere which i have to respect?
