NIOS II HAL problem

Question

Is there possibility to avoid using HAL ? I started a new design in NIOS IDE and program, which does nothing (empty, endless loop) uses 13 kB of memory, and I have only 20 kB of Memory. I'm using the EP1C12 Cycone device.

You can reduce the size of the HAL significantly. Read the "Reducing Code Footprint" section of this:  http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii52004.pdf

Thank you for advice, but code size reduction is insufficient. Can I not use HAL and write device drivers on my own ?
