Nios V/c interrupt controller

According to the reference manual the Nios V Compact Microcontroller has an optional interrupt controller. When I instantiate the Nios V/c Compact Microcontroller IP in the Platform Designer I see no irq_ext/platform_irq  inputs. Is there a way to include the optional Interrupt Controller in the IP-component from the IP library delivered with the Quartus Platform Designer?

Thanks in advance.

    Sorry! I was reading the manual of 25.3.1 version, but using the IP from 25.1. The latter has no interrupt handling in the compact version of the IP. Use Nios V/m as possible solution.

    Dear Distant ,

    I'm glad that you managed to get clarify on the docs version. If there are no further inquiries during this period, I will step back and allow the community to assist with any future follow-up questions.

    Thank you for engaging with us!

    Best regards,
