I don't understand. What are those conduits connected to? They are single signals, not Avalon interfaces, so you can't use the functions you mention except for that slave interface.

These conduits are connected to the PINs of my FPGA board.
I followed this tutorial:
http://scale.engin.brown.edu/classes/en2911xf14/qsys_comp.pdf and did the creation of a new component exactly as the reg16_avalon_interface, the only diference was the three conduits and not just one.
This tutorial doesn't show how to use the functions IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DIRECTION and IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA, but I understood that I could do like this:
IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(reg16_avalon_interface_base, 0xFFFF) and IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA will not be needed since to_hex (conduit) is an output.
I think it would be the same in my case, but I don't know how to write it in these functions, since I have three conduits (sd_clk : out, sd_cmd : inout, sd_dat : inout) and one of them (sd_dat) is a std_logic_vector of size 4. That means I have 6 signals altogether.
The tutorial shows how to make an avalon interface slave and uses it. But does not show how to use these functions in a software (Nios II Eclipse, which I am using).
Is it really not possible to use these functions for my case?
