What is the initial content of the TriMatrix memory blocks in Stratix II, Stratix, Cyclone II, and Cyclone devices?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description The contents of the memory bits in the M4K blocks in Stratix II, Stratix, Cyclone II, and Cyclone devices power up as logic "0". The M512 blocks in Stratix and Stratix II devices power up to logic "0". M-RAM blocks in Stratix and Stratix II devices power up to an unknown state. It is good design practice to clear the contents of the M-RAM blocks after configuration is complete and the devices first enter user mode before reading or writing values to the M-RAM memory blocks.
