I am trying to sort out the same UART issue. The UART16550 might be the purchased 3rd party core. I placed in in Qsys 13.0sp1 Arriaii and I was not able to compile. I am trying to use the standard UART and DMA and Memory to make version now. Also the FIFOed Avalon UART seem to be a SOPC version that does not show up in 12.0 and I do not know how to make this code with in Qsys.

PS. There is a Hard Core UART http://www.altera.com/devices/fpga/cyclone-v-fpgas/hard-processor-system/cyv-soc-hps.html.
