9 years agoI believe you can but there is a jitter requirement for the HPS PLL Input (refer to https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/cyclone-v/cv_51002.pdf page 53). Also note that some peripheral (USB, Ethernet) may require you to supply an external clock of certain frequency to the PHY or the SoC chip (depending on mode).
