Anyone have RTL for using Cyclone as configuration controller to Stratix thru EPCS?

Does anyone know of RTL that exists for using an EPCS with Cyclone SFL and logic as the configuration controller for Stratix? See image for what I mean. I need SFL to configuration control bridge. I know that PFL to configuration control bridge exists for MAX II; but this would be from serial EPCS source not parallel flash...

    Really all you need to do is write a little code to read from the EPCS device. This would be extremely easy to do if you drop a NIOS into that cyclone III. Then you could just read the data from the EPCS64 via software and write it out to the FPGA. That's what I'd do at least to get things up and going. You could then move it into gateware afterwards.
