As for what the ALTCLKCTRL core is for (straight from the user guide (https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_altclock.pdf)): --- Quote Start --- The common applications of using this megafunction are as follows: ■ Dynamic clock source selection ■ Dynamic power-down of a clock network --- Quote End --- Based on what you've written, I wouldn't expect you to need it.
