But on the pc side, it's there an altera tool to transfer data, or would it require a custom (tcl) application

If you read the tutorial you would know the answer. I provide several options using Altera tools, and in the discussion above described how you can create custom software to access the core, but that takes much more work, and may break at anytime if Altera decides to change the protocol.
If you need to transfer data, just add a USB-to-UART/FIFO. FTDI have plenty. They're fast, read these ...
