When I say external component, I mean that the peripheral is not included in the system build with the SOPC. But my peripheral has an Avalon-MM Interface. So, in my schematic top file in quartus, I have a symbol for the system containing the Nios, and my peripheral has its own symbol, and here I connect them.
