It looks like your component is an Avalon-MM slave. In that case, you can just create a Qsys system with an Avalon-MM master BFM and your component, and then simulate that.

I dont know how to communicate with my custom hardware in testbench using "avalon_write" or "avalon_read" since I need to access this signals directly
