Note:
In ATmega16M1/32M1/64M1, the Boot Loader Support provides a real Read-While-Write Self-
Programming mechanism for downloading and uploading program code by the MCU itself. This
feature allows flexible application software updates controlled by the MCU using a Flash-resi-
dent Boot Loader program. The Boot Loader program can use any available data interface and
associated protocol to read code and write (program) that code into the Flash memory, or read
the code from the program memory. The program code within the Boot Loader section has the
capability to write into the entire Flash, including the Boot Loader memory. The Boot Loader can
thus even modify itself, and it can also erase itself from the code if the feature is not needed any-
more. The size of the Boot Loader memory is configurable with fuses and the Boot Loader has
two separate sets of Boot Lock bits which can be set independently. This gives the user a
unique flexibility to select different levels of protection.
The Flash memory is organized in two main sections, the Application section and the Boot
Loader section (see
the BOOTSZ Fuses as shown in
two sections can have different level of protection since they have different sets of Lock bits.
The Application section is the section of the Flash that is used for storing the application code.
The protection level for the Application section can be selected by the application Boot Lock bits
(Boot Lock bits 0), see
Boot Loader code since the SPM instruction is disabled when executed from the Application
section.
While the Application section is used for storing the application code, the The Boot Loader soft-
ware must be located in the BLS since the SPM instruction can initiate a programming when
executing from the BLS only. The SPM instruction can access the entire Flash, including the
BLS itself. The protection level for the Boot Loader section can be selected by the Boot Loader
Lock bits (Boot Lock bits 1), see
