Hello,
as a newbie I'd like to ask you for some understanding and patience. Was not sure where this question should be posted, so please move it/tell me to move it if you find appropriate. I want to build a simple UART on my FPGA. I've been told to try to use a PLL for prescaled clock for my design. However, I am not sure how do I make it work. I have generated a PLL with desired frequency output clock, but now I am not sure where should I put it in my design. Should I enclose it together with my uart to make a top-level entity? Or should I assign it somewhere/use it's output in some assignment to connect it to my uart-entity's clock? I use Quartus II Web Edition trying to synthesise design for Cyclone V. Thank you for any tips. Kuba- Tags:

You can directly connect the PLL output clock to your module at top level RTL.

Alright, I created another top-level entity enclosing the generated PLL entity and my own receiver. It appears to make sense now (please tell me if this is incorrect.)
Thanks!
