An part with the preprogrammed boot loader resets as any other part, at
Atmel AVR UC3
80000000h. Boot loader execution begins here. The boot loader first performs the boot process
to know whether it should start the USB DFU ISP or the application. If the tested conditions indi-
cate that the USB DFU ISP should be started, then execution continues in the boot loader area
between 80000000h and 80002000h; else the boot loader launches the application at
80002000h.
The conditions tested by the boot process are configured by two 32-bit configuration words
located at the end of the flash user page.

The boot loader configuration is non-volatile and determines the behavior of the boot process
and the ISP. This configuration is stored in the 32 general purpose fuse bits and in the flash user
page (see
Figure 6-1).
See the AVR UC3 datasheets for further information about the general purpose fuse bits and the
flash user page.
