EPCS controller in hardware from NIOS made VHDL

I dont have enough onchip memory resources to use the EPCS controller in a NIOS design. My board has a 1C4 and I would have to run from onchip ram (~6k user) and when compiled it is too large. So I would like to use the epcs_controller.vhd file to create my own harware interface. Has anyone used any of the NIOS generated peripheral hardware files for your own logic interfacing?

If I were you, (so memory constrained), I would take a look at the first post (http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25) to the "Post your IP Section" of this forum.

please find the asmi interface in qii->megawizard->io->altasmi_parallel. 

you can add a avalon memory interface to it. 

it seems no using onchip bram. 

but it may be slow.

Thanks hippo, that is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Altera must have listened to all of my service requests and just built the Megafunction to keep me quiet, haha.
