28.5. 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 independently. 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
