26.8.15 Atmel ATmega324A/ATmega324PA Boot Loader Parameters
In Table 26-10 through Table 26-12, the parameters used in the description of the Self-Programming are given.
Note: 1. The different BOOTSZ Fuse configurations are shown in Figure 26-2 on page 283.
Note: 1. For details about these two section, see ”NRWW – No Read-While-Write Section” on page 281 and ”RWW – Read-While-
Write Section” on page 281.
Note: 1. Z0: should be zero for all SPM commands, byte select for the (E)LPM instruction.
See ”Addressing the Flash During Self-Programming” on page 285 for details about the use of Z-pointer during Self-
Programming.

Table 26-12. Explanation of different variables used in Figure 26-3 on page 285 and the mapping to the Z-pointer.
Variable
Corresponding
Z-value Description
(1)
PCMSB 13
Most significant bit in the Program Counter. (The Program Counter is 14 bits
PC[13:0])
PAG EMSB 6
Most significant bit which is used to address the words within one page (128
words in a page requires seven bits PC [5:0]).
ZPCMSB Z14
Bit in Z-pointer that is mapped to PCMSB. Because Z0 is not used, the
ZPCMSB equals PCMSB + 1.
ZPAGEMSB Z7
Bit in Z-pointer that is mapped to PCMSB. Because Z0 is not used, the
ZPAGEMSB equals PAGEMSB + 1.
PCPAGE PC[13:6] Z14:Z7 Program Counter page address: Page select, for Page Erase and Page Write
PCWORD PC[5:0] Z6:Z1
Program Counter word address: Word select, for filling temporary buffer (must
be zero during Page Write operation)
