Just a follow up, I was able to use this project http://mzakharo.github.io/usb-de2-fpga/ successfully on the DE2-115 Board with the Philips ISP1362 USB chip.

The only adaptation needed is to remap some of the OTG pins from the DE2 to the DE2-115.

Also, on the hardware side, the project is set to loopback the data coming in from the USB directly to the output so, in my case, I added a buffer for the incoming data to be read by other modules on the system and made an AVALON wrapper so that from Nios II I can read and write to the USB port.

Since the USB driver is not signed, on Windows 8 you have to force the system to install it. I followed this tutorial (http://revryl.com/2013/08/06/install-unsigned-drivers/)
