Boot Loader Lock bits

Figure 73. Memory Sections
Note:
If no Boot Loader capability is needed, the entire Flash is available for application code.
The Boot Loader has two separate sets of Boot Lock bits which can be set indepen-
dently. This gives the user a unique flexibility to select different levels of protection.
The user can select:
•
•
•
•
See Table 74 and Table 75 for further details. The Boot Lock bits can be set in software
and in Serial or Parallel Programming mode, but they can be cleared by a Chip Erase
command only. The general Write Lock (Lock Bit mode 2) does not control the program-
ming of the Flash memory by SPM instruction. Similarly, the general Read/Write Lock
(Lock Bit mode 1) does not control reading nor writing by LPM/SPM, if it is attempted.
To protect the entire Flash from a software update by the MCU.
To protect only the Boot Loader Flash section from a software update by the MCU.
To protect only the Application Flash section from a software update by the MCU.
Allow software update in the entire Flash.
