26. Memory Programming
26.1 Program And Data Memory Lock Bits
The ATmega164A/164PA/324A/324PA/644A/644PA/1284/1284P provides six Lock bits which
can be left unprogrammed (“1”) or can be programmed (“0”) to obtain the additional features
listed in Table 26-2. The Lock bits can only be erased to “1” with the Chip Erase command.
Note: 1. “1” means unprogrammed, “0” means programmed

SPM is not allowed to write to the Application section, and
(E)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.
