This looks fine. You should be able to avoid renaming the file to have a
.bin suffix, the quartus_hps should take any file. I only tested it
with quartus 15.1 though, so it is possible there was a change since
13.1 which is what you use.

There is output, but it takes a while for the USB-to-UART chip to kick
in after restart, so you don't see it. I will send you two more patches,
so apply them and it should get you up and running. The QSPI NOR boot
was not enabled on AV/CV SoCDK.
