I'm not sure which manufacturer the M25P64 flash you mentioned belongs to. Altera has recommended and verified flash devices from specific manufacturers—please refer to Table 4 in the linked document for details.

If your flash device is not listed there, you first need to confirm whether it can be used as a boot device for Cyclone devices. You can do this by checking parameters like dummy cycles, addressing, etc., as outlined in Table 4 for verified devices.

If you confirm that your flash is compatible, you can generate a new template in the Convert Programming Files tool by selecting "New Device".
