cycloneIII any tutorial how to drive lcd

Any good tutorials that come to mind? I am looking for some.

And yes, why do all the peripherals use Nios? Your points all good FvM. I did have those questions in my head.

Even if I do want to use Nios, how do I call the Nios program so that when the design written in Verilog gives a certain output, the LCD can be instructed to display the related values?

The My First Nios II Software Design tutorial only tells how to write Hello World. I still cannot imagine how to join the pieces, from the verilog programmed into fpga output to the lcd on board.

Any direction to follow up tutorials is appreciated.

Thanks.
