The document I gave you has the timing diagram. The EPCS devices are nothing more than serial flash devices which Altera purchases from Numonyx (used to be STMicro) and rebrands with the Altera name. The flash has no concept of files systems or anything like that. File systems would be handled inside your MCU. With flash you have the concept of blocks and pages. This is all detailed in the document I gave you. Truly, there is no further knowledge to be had about the EPCS device itself. Just a flash device.
