max Clock rate at GPIO? (DE2 Board)

Hello,

can someone tell me, what the max rate of the GPIO pins is?

I have mapped a SPI Interface on the GPIO Pins. But when I select a to high Baud rate, the other side seems to not get all bits.

Regards

    One design i've done used the EP2C70F672I8 with 64MHz IO clock speeed.

    The spi with 25MHz spiclock was no problem.

    SDRam with 96MHz also functional within industrial enviroment.

    Could you please explain a bit more what you mean with

    What is a high Baud rate for you ?

    have you had a look at the signal waveform ?

    do you have voltage over/undershots ?

    how did you setup quartus ?

    did you use registered outputs, specify slew rate, output current, fast input / output register ?

    Thanks for the answers.

    Now I know its not the DE2 Board. It's the other side.
