CONFIGURATION AND PROGRAMMING 
SEQUENCE 

To configure and program the evaluation board, take the 
following steps: 

1.

 

Run th

ACE

 software as explained in the

 section. 

2.

 

Click 

Initialize Chip

 (

Label A

, see Figure 6). 

3.

 

Click and adjust the block (

Label B

 to 

Label H

 in Figure 6) 

if necessary. 

4.

 

After changing the block in th
