error of PCIE PERST_N whe running fitter!

Error (169029): Pin PERST_N is incompatible with I/O bank 3B. Pin uses I/O standard 2.5 V, which has a VCCIO requirement incompatible with that bank's VCCIO setting or its other pins that use VCCIO 1.5V.

Extra Info (169121): Device 5SGXMA3H2F35I3

how to solve this problem ?

    Change the pins I/O standard to one compatible with the VCCIO level on that bank, or move the pin to another bank with a compatible VCCIO level.

    PERST_N is a designated pin for PCIE hard ip, and its voltage is required as 3.3v. but this bank's VCCIO is set to 1.5v for QDR interface.

    when I change the pin I/O standard to 1.5v , same error occurs and additionally one warning reports :

    Warning (15772): Pin PERST_N cannot have I/O standard assignment 1.5 V. The pin is a PCIe reset pin connected to the HIP and is therefore powered by VCCPGM. The Fitter is ignoring this assignment.

    Error (169029): Pin PERST_N is incompatible with I/O bank 3B. Pin uses I/O standard 2.5 V, which has a VCCIO requirement incompatible with that bank's VCCIO setting or its other pins that use VCCIO 1.5V.

    so if there is other solution for this problem?

    If this is a board you've designed then you are out of luck - you should have test compiled your pin assignments before getting the board made.

    If it is a dev kit then whoever designed the dev kit did a terrible job.

    You can't put pins that require 1.5V VCCIO on the same bank as pins that require 2.5V/3V VCCIO, and there is no work around as far as I'm aware.
