... Installation Procedure For demonstration of these integrated circuits, use the U3600BM demo board. As the U3600BM is controllable via a serial bus (to load all the internal registers), Atmel provides demonstration and development software. The software is written in Visual Basic and replaces the previously used microcontroller. Please note that the Visual Basic program controls all of the U3600BM's registers, but it does not work as a complete telephone processor to handle all protocols needed to communicate between base station and handset or vice versa ...

... Bits with a grey background are application-specific bits, and can be modified depending on the application environment. Bits with a light-brown background are country-specific predefined data and should not be modi- fied because they have already been optimized by Atmel R15 These buttons are used to open a register window for bit-wise modification of the specific register ...
