MAX 10 Internal Clock and Flash Lock

Pete that's exactly the reason why i said it's useless. a ok i said not usable. it is usable but useless :)) don't know much about connecting it to pll it's a matter of couple of clicks in quartus but i don't bother much since i can't tell that pll what the input frequency will be. and as far as i know max 10 can not lock it's flash. in other words it is accessible by pirates, but i think altera has developed some protection mechanism simply i haven't come across any of them in the datasheets. however, altera is new to integrated flash programming and it is kind of likely that they did not created anything for protection yet...
