Hi,
latest version of altera_avalon_new_sdram_controller is 19.1, it can be instantiated, generated and compiled without warnings at least in Quartus Prime Version 22.1std.0.

You may try to setup your Nios V design under Quartus 22.1 and see if the generated SDRAM IP still compiles in V24.1. There's apparently no Avalon SDRAM IP available in V24.1.

Quartus 24.1 Platform Designer has an axi4 "Altera SDRAM Controller" as hidden component (Library right click -> show hidden components), but it's apparently only a placeholder without controller code or exposed SDRAM pins. Maybe something to come.
