Migrating devices - Power and Ground on I/Os?

When using device migration, I find that I/O pins on some devices are supposed to be power or ground on other devices. Is it okay to connect I/O pins to power or ground on my board?

Yes you can connect I/Os to power and gnd, set them as inputs in your design. I have done device migration by doing this in the past with no problems. There is usually one part which has more IO and one with less, make the schematic for the one with less IO then a double check to make sure is what I have done.
