21.3 Parallel Fast Flash Programming
21.3.1 Device Configuration
In Fast Flash Programming Mode, the device is in a specific test mode. Only a certain set of pins is significant. The rest 
of the PIOs are used as inputs with a pull-up. The crystal oscillator is in bypass mode. Other pins must be left 
unconnected.
