What you reference is a differential clock on those 2 clock pins, so that might not be what you want.
I'm presuming it's this kit but the pin numbers you mention don't match up with your description of them according to the documentation: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/products/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/altera/arria-10-soc-development-kit.html
Is that the kit you're using?
Yes, this is what I am using. Perhaps the pin I am referring to is connecting to the fmcdaq2 board I have, and it is providing that signal.
I have been looking at the pinout file and the user guide of this development kit however the user guide isn't exactly as clear as it could have been, and the pinout is some sort of an alien language. Can you help me out and give me some pin that actually has at least 135 MHz frequency? It's fine if it's 300, 500, 750MHz or whatever, as long as it s more than 135MHz.

Hi there
If you check on "The Clock Control" section in https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/iga1434736665480.html#iga1439246083721, you are able to set the freq through the apps.
You can check on the schematic for the connection of Si5338 to the FPGA here:
Thanks.

Yes, except those apps do not work with Quartus 17.1. They apparently work with 15 something.

Hi there
I am not sure if there is any library differences from version 15.1 to 17.1. So, are you able to work with it on 15.1, which according to the readme file, this is the Quartus version where the ref design is built up with.
Thanks.
