PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity with Floating Point Unit (EF) Family
5.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
PIC32MZ EF devices contain an internal Flash
program memory for executing user code, which
includes the following features:
• Two Flash banks for live update support
• Dual boot support
• Write protection for program and boot Flash
• ECC support
There are three methods by which the user can
program this memory:
• Run-Time Self-Programming (RTSP)
• EJTAG Programming
• In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)
RTSP is performed by software executing from either
Flash or RAM memory. Information about RTSP
techniques is available in Section 52. “Flash
Program Memory with Support for Live Update”
(DS60001193) in the “PIC32 Family Reference
Manual”.
EJTAG is performed using the EJTAG port of the
device and an EJTAG capable programmer.
ICSP is performed using a serial data connection to the
device and allows much faster programming times than
RTSP.
The EJTAG and ICSP methods are described in the
“PIC32 Flash Programming Specification”
(DS60001145), which is available for download from
the Microchip web site (www.microchip.com).
