accessing the RWW section when it is blocked for reading. How to move the interrupts
is described in “Interrupts” on page 69.
Special care must be taken if the user allows the Boot Loader section to be updated by
leaving Boot Lock bit11 unprogrammed. An accidental write to the Boot Loader itself can
corrupt the entire Boot Loader, and further software updates might be impossible. If it is
not necessary to change the Boot Loader software itself, it is recommended to program
the Boot Lock bit11 to protect the Boot Loader software from any internal software
changes.
During Self-Programming (either Page Erase or Page Write), the RWW section is
always blocked for reading. The user software itself must prevent that this section is
addressed during the self programming operation. The RWWSB in the SPMCSR will be
set as long as the RWW section is busy. During Self-Programming the Interrupt Vector
table should be moved to the BLS as described in “Interrupts” on page 69, or the inter-
rupts must be disabled. Before addressing the RWW section after the programming is
completed, the user software must clear the RWWSB by writing the RWWSRE. See
“Simple Assembly Code Example for a Boot Loader” on page 333 for an example.
To set the Boot Loader Lock bits and general Lock bits, write the desired data to R0,
write “X0001001” to SPMCSR and execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing
SPMCSR.
See Table 135 and Table 136 for how the different settings of the Boot Loader bits affect
the Flash access.
If bits 5:0 in R0 are cleared (zero), the corresponding Lock bit will be programmed if an
SPM instruction is executed within four cycles after BLBSET and SPMEN are set in
SPMCSR. The Z-pointer is don’t care during this operation, but for future compatibility it
is recommended to load the Z-pointer with 0x0001 (same as used for reading the lO
bits). For future compatibility it is also recommended to set bits 7 and 6 in R0 to “1” when
writing the Lock bits. When programming the Lock bits the entire Flash can be read dur-
ing the operation.
Note that an EEPROM write operation will block all software programming to Flash.
Reading the Fuses and Lock bits from software will also be prevented during the
EEPROM write operation. It is recommended that the user checks the status bit (EEPE)
in the EECR Register and verifies that the bit is cleared before writing to the SPMCSR
Register.
