I don't know how the panel tool works, but you'll probably need a SOPC project with either a Nios CPU or a jtag-to-avalon debug module for it to access the SRAM. So in this case you'd better use SOPC builder and make a component with an Avalon master interface, to be able to share the SRAM between JTAG and your DMA.
