External controller accesses

Is it possible for an external processor to read\write data to internal memory of the gate array that is implemented outside of the SOPC system

Great I was hoping this was going to be true. I assume that I will need a custom component if I want to connect my micro controller external to my gate array to an internal memory to the SOPC. I assume that I need to use the regular bus interface signals for this component (read, write, chip select, data , address etc.) Is there any special considerations or signalling issues I have to keep in mind ? I tried to get some info on the timing interface of the "on-Chip memory" but there didn't seem any available.
