The hardware that needs to access the SDRAM needs to be written as an Avalon-MM master, so that it can initiate SDRAM reads or writes.

How do I write it like that?

Alternatively, your hardware can be an Avalon-MM slave or Avalon-ST sink/source, and you can use a DMA controller to move data from your component to/from SDRAM.

I don't need a DMA.

That is not a Qsys task. That is the job of the linker script.

How do I configure the linker?

You already have a working SDRAM controller (using the standard Altera Avalon-MM SDRAM controller), why are you trying to use this design?

That was only for test. Forget it.
