How to use CLOCK_50 on Cyclone II device

I like to program a simple D flip-flop with an asynchronous reset. It requires a Clock input.

I'm using a Cyclone II device. Shall I use the pin CLOCK_50 as the Clock?

Is there any example of how to use the clock?

    Hello,
    there's no Cylone II pin named CLOCK_50, you are apparently asking about a specific development board. Which one?
    Generally, you should use a global clock network to clock your DFF, either fed by a clock input or a PLL output. There are surely demonstration projects shipped with your development board.

      The device is EP2C20F484C7.

      Can you share any link or documentation on how to use a global clock for the D flip-flop please?

      Thank you.

    Hi,


    Are you trying to create a design on the Quartus software? And are you using a devkit?
