Note: 1. The parameters in the figure above are given in Table 104 on page 258.
Boot Loader Lock Bits If no Boot Loader capability is needed, the entire Flash is available for application code.
The Boot Loader has two separate sets of Boot Lock bits which can be set indepen-
dently. This gives the user a unique flexibility to select different levels of protection.
The user can select:
• To protect the entire Flash from a software update by the MCU.
• To protect only the Boot Loader Flash section from a software update by the MCU.
• To protect only the Application Flash section from a software update by the MCU.
• Allow software update in the entire Flash.
See Table 100 and Table 101 for further details. The Boot Lock bits and general Lock
bits can be set in software and in Serial or Parallel Programming mode, but they can be
cleared by a Chip Erase command only. The general Write Lock (Lock Bit mode 2) does
not control the programming of the Flash memory by SPM instruction. Similarly, the gen-
eral Read/Write Lock (Lock Bit mode 1) does not control reading nor writing by
LPM/SPM, if it is attempted.
