+AT86RF230-based IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver. Two variants: one to make a USB
 dongle for use with any Linux host, and one that connects with SPI directly
 inside a Ben.
 
+Update: following Rikard Lindstrom's revelation that we can use the uSD slot
+also just as general GPIOs, the variant that goes inside the Ben can wait a
+bit and the atusd board for insertion into the uSD slot is being worked on
+first. We can verify most of the design of a fully integrated board with the
+atusd board and the latter will be of greater immediate use.
+
+
+Things done
+-----------
+
+- verify that the Ben can output an a) 16 MHz clock, and b) with +/- 40 ppm
+
+  Done, see ecn/ecn0005.txt. Works fine.
+
+- replace discrete balun and filter with integrated solution, to reduce BOM
+  size, maybe cost, insertion loss, and PCB space (see ATRF/ECN0003)
+
+  Done for atusd. At a first glamce, does not seem to affect performance.
+
+- check if we really need three DC blocking caps in the RF path
+
+  Reduced to two in atusd without apparent ill effects.
