DDR3 interfacing with Cyclone V E device

With this Cyclone V E device, what is the maximum DDR3 memory capacity I can interface to? 4 GB or 8GB?

The FPGA itself does not care about how much memory you're accessing. It depends on the board.  

The only limitation I see is if you try to use it with a NIOS processor, which is 32-bit limited and uses the upper bit for non-cached access. And because the address space is shared with the other peripherals, effectively 1GB.  

But you could split this 1GB into "banks" or perhaps chunk it to 8 other NIOS. 

But the device itself can handle whatever.

I wish to implement 2GB DDR3 memory with Cyclone V E device (5CEFA523C8N). I am planning to use hard memory controller interfaced to NIOS II/s. But I am not sure if controller supports 2 GB? 

 

Please help me!
