OK, finally got 9.1sp2 versions of both Quartus and the Nios II EDS successfully installed on my Inspiron at home. For future reference, Google "altera download center" to more quickly find any version of any Altera software.
I determined that indeed, it appears that a interval timer peripheral needed to be added to the SOPC design in order for the alarm function to be available. In our case, this system timer device is called "timer_0".
The new code with the heartbeat feature added is compiled, but the feature still remains to be tested. Copying the code to the FEDM_code v3 folder on Dropbox so I can test it at work tomorrow...
