If you just want to generate a periodic waveform and your sample
rate/clock rate is an integer, you can use the vector source block (on
repeat) with the following vector for one complete cycle of the clock
waveform:
(lambda n, d, a: [a if i < d*n else 0 for i in
range(n)])(samp_rate/clk_rate, duty, ampl)

Otherwise, i suggest making a custom block in c++ or python.
