What is the initial state of MAX II devices pre-programming?

What is the initial state of the EPM1270F256I5 before the first programming? I'm trying to determine how to bias it.

Hi YL,

I'm asking because my intent is to perform environmental testing with simple biasing for my organization. Due to time/money constraint, I won't be programming the PLD before or during testing.

The reason I ask about the DEV_CLRn and DEV_OE pins is that they both have alternate modes as I/O pins. Without any programming, will pins M8 and M9 (for the FBGA-256 package) be in DEV_OE and DEV_CLRn modes respectively? Or will they be in the I/O mode?

Thanks,

Noah

To clarify, I'm wondering what the state of those two pins will be in in User-Mode Operation if during t_CONFIG, the CPLD isn't configured.
