If you are familiar with software then I would recommend; 1) Creating a NIOS II system containing a server (there are "simple socket server" examples), and write sockets code to test it. 2) Write MATLAB sockets code. 3) Modify the design in (1) to provide access to whatever FPGA hardware you want to test. You can also go through the tutorial I linked to. If you do not require high bandwidth for your data transfer, then using JTAG may be adequate. Cheers, Dave
