SDRAM in SOPC system

Hi, I need to use SDRAM as main memory with CycloneIII device. My whole code will be executed on SDR SDRAM (8 Mbytes). so need some guidance on how to integrate SDR SDRAM in niosii based syste...

Yes, this is for prototype development board, not any product.

And I am learning all the aspects with FPGA development.

My development board has EPCS memory, Micron's SDR SDRAM, Cycloneiii FPGA on board.

Right now, I am experimenting with SDR SDRAM, EPCS will come into picture at later stage.

Currently, i just want to run all my SOPC code and NIOS application code on SDRAM instead of on-chip memory.

Upto now, I have checked all my SOPC code and NIOS application code running with On-Chip RAM without SDRAM or EPCS memory configuration in the system.

Is it not possible to execute the software on SDRAM(as main RAM of the system) without configuring EPCS non-volatile memory?

Regards.
