do i need a controller for the IF between the two ? 

or is there a way for the Stratix to automatically download the code upon power up ? 

 

Thanks

To the best of my knowledge, FPGAs do not have dedicated self-download feature ...yet. 

 

an altera configuration device consists of flash + controller. 

if you use your own flash then you need controller to do the work e.g. cpld or microprocessor.
