Thanks for both of your replies!

Re-reading my question, I realize I didn't actually mean a Nios II processor. (All this work with Altera tools lately has tied C to Nios in my mind) I wanted to move away from needing to run a tcl script in SystemConsole. For a clearer picture, the board I am working with only has a JTAG to USB connection to the connecting PC. I was hoping to use this connection to do reads/writes to the Avalon MM. Your tutorial accomplishes the second part of my goal but not the ability to not need the Altera toolset. I think your second answer where you talk about replacing this logic with C-code is what I need to do and have it run on my host computer.
