The memory content can be initialized or cleared in the configuration bitstream with the INIT_0000 - INIT_3FFF (1024) attributes or by reading a file with the INIT_FILE attribute. Each INIT_XXX is a 72-digit hexadecimal-encoded bit vector. The memory contents can be partially initialized and are automatically completed with zeros. Each INIT_XXX attribute contains 32 bits of parity from bit locations 287:256 and 256 bits of data from bit locations 255:0 as shown in the following tables. Used UltraRAM blocks not initialized in the design are automatically initialized with 0 during configuration and are not part of the bitstream. Therefore, the bitstream size varies depending on the number of user-initialized UltraRAM blocks.
