problems with clock !!

Hi, I can't see the clock on the oscilloscope, i need this test to see if it works, then i'll use it for Nios.

I test the clock_50 with this code:

entity provaClock is

port(CLOCK_50: in std_logic;

uscita :out std_logic

);

end entity provaClock;

architecture ar of provaClock is

signal coll :std_logic;

begin

coll<=CLOCK_50;

uscita<=coll;

end ar;

FPGA Cyclone ii

PIN Assignment

uscita --- PIN_K20

CLOCK_50 -- PIN_B12

Software Quartus 9.1 Web Edition

why ?????

Thanks

    Where are you probing the signal? K20 or B12.

    The clock is an external signal. Your design simply pass the signal from pin B12 to K20.

    Can you see the clock entering B12?
