Can I connect SRAM directly to NIOS? Under SRAM tree I have Cypress CY7C1380C SSRAM and IDT71V416 SRAM. I choose 2nd. one. and I can not connect directly SRAM. Must be connected to an Avalon bus?

Hi, 

you have to add a tri-state bridge (Bridges and Adapters -> Memory Mapped -> Avalon-MM Tristate Bridge) to connect the sram. Connect the tristate master interface of the tristate bridge with the tristate slave interface of the sram.

Do I need any other controller between tri-state bridge and sram? Because when I generate nios sopc with tri-state and sram controller I dont have the pins which I'd like to connect/

Normally not. Which pins do you see and which pins do you want to see ?
