Hi, kumanika. 

 You can create an on chip memory using MegaWizard or IP catalog, then you can access the memory using the common way.  If you have to use the Qsys to create an on chip memory, you need not to create your own "avwrite_0" component, just generate the RTL, then access the RTL generated by Qsys using Avalon-MM Write/Read, because the interface is Avalon-MM interface.   You can read "Avalon Interface Specifications" to know how to use Avalon-MM interface.  Best regards, zhang
