Entering the Boot
Loader Program
Entering the Boot Loader takes place by a jump or call from the application program. This may
be initiated by a trigger such as a command received via USART, or SPI interface. Alternatively,
the Boot Reset Fuse can be programmed so that the Reset Vector is pointing to the Boot Flash
start address after a reset. In this case, the Boot Loader is started after a reset. After the applica-
tion code is loaded, the program can start executing the application code. Note that the fuses
cannot be changed by the MCU itself. This means that once the Boot Reset Fuse is pro-
grammed, the Reset Vector will always point to the Boot Loader Reset and the fuse can only be
changed through the serial or parallel programming interface.

(1)
BLB0 Mode BLB02 BLB01 Protection
111
No restrictions for SPM or LPM accessing the Application
section.
2 1 0 SPM is not allowed to write to the Application section.
300
SPM is not allowed to write to the Application section, and
LPM executing from the Boot Loader section is not
allowed to read from the Application section. If interrupt
vectors are placed in the Boot Loader section, interrupts
are disabled while executing from the Application section.
401
LPM executing from the Boot Loader section is not
allowed to read from the Application section. If interrupt
vectors are placed in the Boot Loader section, interrupts
are disabled while executing from the Application section.

2 1 0 SPM is not allowed to write to the Boot Loader section.
300
SPM is not allowed to write to the Boot Loader section,
and LPM executing from the Application section is not
allowed to read from the Boot Loader section. If interrupt
vectors are placed in the Application section, interrupts
are disabled while executing from the Boot Loader section.
401
LPM executing from the Application section is not allowed
to read from the Boot Loader section. If interrupt vectors
are placed in the Application section, interrupts are
disabled while executing from the Boot Loader section.
