nconfig cyclone V pin usage

Hello,

I'm wondering what happens exactly if I drive the nConfig pin low on Cyclone V SoC devices. The pin guidelines say that reconfiguration is initiated, the device enters a reset state, and I/Os are tristated.

Does the FPGA fabric see this signal so that flip-flops initialize in a defined state or does the FPGA rely on Power up values after the nConfig pin is driven low?

Thank you
