Native NAND Controller - Verilog

I am looking to implement a NAND controller (Cyclone II C35) that interfaces directly with 2GB NAND devices (Samsung K9WAG08U1A). User experiences and or sample verilog code would be very helpf...

You can connect the chip to a PIO and simulate the requested bus cycles in software. You probably already have drivers for the flash (Samsong seems to provide a Linux file system), so you only need to write the low level part (PIO generating bus cycles).

If you are a bit careful with the software implementation, you can later create a VHDL interface connected to Avalon MM in SOPC builder, and only modify the low level part of the driver.
