Ah, I am sorry. I can not remember where in the altera.com site it is, but there is a better place anyhow. The hardware kits for altera are actually made by a company terasic, and on their web site they have a many great resources for downloading. Also, I highly recommend getting one of their boards, I have the Cyclone II one it is relatively inexpensive ($150) and it is a great way to get yourself started without having to worry about the hardware while learning all the tools like Quartus.

Having said all that, the link ishttp://www.terasic.com/downloads/cd-rom/de1/

download the zip file and load it onto your hard drive someplace, there is a folder in there DE1_USB_API, and it has the SDRAM controller files. It is really easy to use, I got my VGA project going in just a couple of hours using that controller (Sdram_Controller.v).

Good luck !
