state of FPGA pins before bitmap takes effect

--- Quote Start ---

It depends on the FPGA.

Some FPGAs have an IO_PULLUP pin that can be used to define whether weak pull-ups are enabled or not during power on, i.e., you have a "global" option, rather than a per pin option.

Generally I use pull-up or pull-down resistors on control signals that I want to guarantee have a particular state when the FPGA is not configured.

Cheers,

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I am using Cyclone IV FPGA. Does it have the IO_PULLUP pin you mentioned? Also, how I control this IO_PULLUP pin?
