I don't have that board so i cannot tell you much. The board has three clocks, but i don't know either if you can use them as independent clock sources or if there is any other constraint in their usage. I actually remember that the DE1 board comes with sample code and it's likely that there's a camera reference design. You might start by taking a look.

what should me clk signal. can i use the same clock which i am using for the board.

Parallel port. You get the sampled pixels (or color components) here. Usually pumped by the rising edge of the pixel clock.

Let me think.... :)
> 13 PIXCLK1 Output Sensor 1 Pixel Clock
Pixel clock (time to read data)
> 14 MCLK1 Input Sensor 1 Master Clock
The heart of the sensor. You provide this signal. No MCLK, no life.
> 15 LVAL1 Output Sensor 1 Line Valid
Generally, triggers the start and the end of a sampled row When asserted, data at the parallel port is valid in sync with the pixel clock.
> 16 FVAL1 Output Sensor 1 Frame Valid
Generally, triggers the start and the end of a whole frame

Use them to control the sensor settings by writing to (and reading from) the internal sensor registers.

I am tring to design a video acquisition system. I am usimg the DE1
borad and the compactable TRB_DC2 camera module with it.(http://
www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=39&No=50).
The problem i am facing is on the data sheet 20 pins are assigned to
each sensor. i am a newibe to vlsi design. i am unable to distinguish
the usage of al the pins. only understood a few. can anyone help me
out by tellin whats the real functionalities of those pins

i am attaching the pin descriptions with this post

Pin Numbers Name Direction Description
1 DATA1[0] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 0
2 DATA1[1] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 1
3 DATA1[4] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 4
4 DATA1[3] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 3
5 DATA1[5] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 5
6 DATA1[2] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 2
7 DATA1[6] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 6
8 DATA1[7] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 7
9 DATA1[8] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 8
10 DATA1[9] Output Sensor 1 Data Bit 9
11 NC N/A Not Connect
12 GND N/A Ground
13 PIXCLK1 Output Sensor 1 Pixel Clock
14 MCLK1 Input Sensor 1 Master Clock
15 LVAL1 Output Sensor 1 Line Valid
16 FVAL1 Output Sensor 1 Frame Valid
17 SCLK1 input Sensor 1 I2C Clock
