MAX 10 Internal Clock and Flash Lock

MAX 10 datasheet shows that it has an internal oscillator, however this is not usable at all since it is a ring oscillator and it's exact frequency can not be ordered (unlike other fpga manufacturers...

The internal oscillator is usuable, but the exact frequency is in a pretty wide range based on process/tempurature. I have not looked at the MAX 10, close enough to see if this can be ran through a PLL. If so, you could get a higher frequencies, but precise timing is impossible.
