To enable the EVK-NORA-W10 I/O pins to handle 5 V signals the level shifters (U102 

 U104, TI 

TXS0108EPWR) must be populated and 

IOREF

 must be supplied with +5 V. When using 3.3 V on 

the EVK-NORA-W1 I/O pins, the Arduino Uno® style shields must be configured to use the +3.3 V 
I/O voltage reference.
