DE0-NANO Pin Out Voltage Warning

Hallo

I am using DE0-NANO board for my project and i get the following warning from the pin out voltage. I am using 3.3 V LVTTL for all the pins and 8 mA

I am attaching my pin out file.

Warning (169177): 6 pins must meet Altera requirements for 3.3-, 3.0-, and 2.5-V interfaces.

Info (169178): Pin clk_enable uses I/O standard 3.3-V LVTTL at N9

Info (169178): Pin clk uses I/O standard 3.3-V LVTTL at R8

Info (169178): Pin reset uses I/O standard 3.3-V LVTTL at E1

Info (169178): Pin BCLK uses I/O standard 3.3-V LVTTL at B7

Info (169178): Pin WS uses I/O standard 3.3-V LVTTL at A7

Info (169178): Pin Input uses I/O standard 3.3-V LVTTL at C8

This warning doesn't have any effect on the complitation, i am just concerned if it has any effect on the hardware i am connecting to. The input coming from my external hardware to development board GPIO pins are 3.3 V LVTTL

    1. Check the drive strength, That is your Voh>vih min & Vol< vil max and current requirement (Assuming your FPGA pins are output and hardware connecting are input)

    2. And also the trace capacitance, Voltages may vary at higher frequency please check max load driving capability of output pins.

    If this has been taken care there will be no issues.

    1.This warning is automatically generated when we use voltage levels 2.5 & 3.3V.

    These are all completely normal INFO lines for this board. All the I/Os are in a 3.3V bank (not changeable). You can alter the class from LVTTL to LVCMOS, and change drive strength, etc as required via commands in the .qsf file for the design. 3.3V LVTTL at 8ma is the typical setup. Nothing to worry about.
