  | Number | Done? | Checklist Item | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Connect nIO_PULLUP directly to GND. | |
| 2 | Hold the nCE (chip enable) pin low during configuration, initialization, and user mode. | 
In single device configuration or JTAG programming, tie nCE low. In multi-device configuration, tie nCE low on the first device and connect its nCEO pin to the nCE pin on the next device in the chain.
