2.7.1. Supply the Kernel Clock
The REF_CLK_RATE parameter specifies the frequency of the reference clock that connects to the kernel PLL (kernel_pll_refclk). For the s10_ref Reference Platform, the REF_CLK_RATE frequency is 50 MHz.
The KERNEL_TARGET_CLOCK_RATE parameter specifies the frequency that the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software attempts to achieve during compilation. The board hardware contains some logic that the kernel clock clocks. At a minimum, the board hardware includes the clock crossing hardware. To prevent this logic from limiting the fmax achievable by a kernel, the KERNEL_TARGET_CLOCK_RATE must be higher than the frequency that a simple kernel can achieve on your device. For the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit that the s10_ref Reference Platform targets, the KERNEL_TARGET_CLOCK_RATE is 500 GHz.
