One thing to keep in mind is that you really shouldn't be too worried specifically about how to write to SDRAM but instead how to write to an Avalon slave. Writing to any slave, including SDRAM, is the same. Another thing to watch out for is that SDRAM is an example of a high latency slave, particularly for reads. Because of this, if you need to achieve high bandwidth/efficiency to the slave, you will need to use pipelining or burst transfers.
