Hello,
I got two questions about the FX3 GPIOs.
What should I do with unused GPIO pins in my design ? Should I leave it floating ?
My second question is about the 22Ohms resistor. In the datasheet it is said that a 22Ohm should be connected to any pin driven by the GPIFII interface. I thought that any other pin should not be connected to that resistor but I saw in the Superspeed explorer kit schematics that a 22Ohm resistor is also connected to the UART and SPI pins. What should I do ?

Yes, you can leave the pins floating if you do not use it.
It is not necessary to provide 22 ohms on the UART/SPI lines. WE recommend using 22-Ω series termination resistors to avoid reflection on GPIF lines

My FX3 lanes run ~0.7" long straight in to the FPGA. Do you still see a need for the 22 ohm resistors? Not a big deal adding them but adds work. Thank!
