How can "Clock Controller application" Programs the clock generator on Arria 10 Dev board ?

Another query : Does A10 FPGA need a dedicated specific fpga image to be running, to co-operate with "Windows Clock Controller application" , to re-config the on-board clock generator(i.e SI5338 ) ? If we develop our own FPGA sof image, and burn into A10 GX Dev Board, and this image doesn't contain I2C scheme. my understanding is that Windows "Clock Controller Applcation" will to not work any more, right ? Thanks a lot !!
