All I/O banks of the Cyclone III starter board are powered by 2.5 V. So you should always get a 2.5 V square wave using a single ended I/O standard. 2.5V would the be the correct one, but there's no functional difference if you assign e.g. 3.0V LVCMOS.

I wonder if it can be a problem of not correctly probing the output signals at the HSMC connector?
