9 years agoLook through the Recommended Operating Conditions section, and particularly table 6 on page 4 of the "max 10 deveice datasheet (https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/max-10/m10_datasheet.pdf)". This very clearly explains what rails should be powered and how.
Also look through the "pin connection guidelines (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/dp/max-10/pcg-01018.pdf)". This covers all the pins on the device and what you need/should do with each. As for your I/O that will "behave like a normal processor" - any of the pins whose function is identified as "IO" in the device pinout can be made to behave as a GPIO pin might on a processor.
