28. Memory Programming
28.1 Program And Data Memory Lock Bits
The ATmega16U4/ATmega32U4 provides six Lock bits which can be left unprogrammed (“1”) or
can be programmed (“0”) to obtain the additional features listed in Table 28-2. The Lock bits can
only be erased to “1” with the Chip Erase command.
Note: 1. “1”: unprogrammed, “0”: 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.
