Honored ContributorSpecify clock frequency for CycloneII FPGA
Hi, I want to specify a clock frequency for my counter(VHDL), to make it adds one every second.To simulate it I can simply generate a required waveform, but to configure it into FPGA I think I need a...

Honored ContributorIt sounds like you are looking at the output from the timing analyzer.
This tells you the maximum clock frequency that your design will correctly operate under. You must have specified a clock in your top level component. Can you attach an image of where you have seen this clock mentioned and maybe a copy of your code for the top level? There is no such concept as an internally generated clock in an FPGA. There must be an external clock source
