EPCS controller in hardware from NIOS made VHDL

I dont have enough onchip memory resources to use the EPCS controller in a NIOS design. My board has a 1C4 and I would have to run from onchip ram (~6k user) and when compiled it is too large. So I would like to use the epcs_controller.vhd file to create my own harware interface. Has anyone used any of the NIOS generated peripheral hardware files for your own logic interfacing?

    please find the asmi interface in qii->megawizard->io->altasmi_parallel.

    you can add a avalon memory interface to it.

    it seems no using onchip bram.

    but it may be slow.

    Thanks hippo, that is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Altera must have listened to all of my service requests and just built the Megafunction to keep me quiet, haha.
