The Clock Control

The Clock Control application sets the Si570 (X1) or Si571 (X3) programmable
oscillators to any frequency between 10 MHz and 810 MHz. The frequencies support
eight digits of precision to the right of the decimal point.

The Clock Control application runs as a stand-alone application. ClockControl.exe
resides in the dir>\kits\cycloneVSX_5csxfc6df31_soc\examples\board_test_system directory.

To start the application, click Start > All Programs > Altera >
Cyclone V SoC Development Kit

<version> > Clock Control.
