Thanks Guru, no there is serial port on the board. If I can find a source code that controls the SRAM, which I can customize it by adding my Design, that could be a solution.

The serial port or any other interface to the outer world can be implemented in fpga and interface signals routed to the spare GPIOs on HSMC connector.
For sram sample code refer to the starter kit package: the starter kits always comes with a few design templates which show you how to use the board devices.
You must first of all decide if you want to implement your design in hardware or software; and this depends on your design requirements.
By software I mean you build a standard sopc system including Nios processor, sram controller and whatever you need by using Qsys ready made ip cores; then it's all a matter of programming your data elaboration in C language, like on a common microprocessor.
On the other hand, if you need to process the data at high speed, you may need to go for the hardware solution: in this case you must describe everything in HDL.
