I had the same question when we did our target board. But, in the end, it didn't matter. The target board is only used for programming the flash and EPCS devices. I think that the code that Altera sticks in the on-chip RAM uses the ASMI device and not the EPCS controller. So, in answer to your question, you don't need to use the EPCS controller in your board.
