Read the "Reducing Code Footprint" chapter of this document: 

 

http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii52004.pdf?gsa_pos=2&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=reducing%20code%20footprint 

 

In addition to the guidance given in the document here are some tips: 

 

1 - Start your project with the "hello_world_small" example project. 

2 - Avoid all floating point library calls if possible. 

3 - Avoid functions that have a heavy code footprint (printf for example).
