1. Select a memory area from the Memory Area list box.
2. Click on the Add button to open a browse window.
3. Select the file to be programmed to this memory area, then click on Open.
The file is added to the Files field.
“Program even if has empty file list” option
If you don’t have a file to program to a memory area, you can still select it for programming
by checking the Program even if has empty file list checkbox. This checkbox is only
visible when the Files field is empty.
This option can be useful when programming a device that has already been programmed
(when the memory contains values other than default values). In the Memory Area tab, you
can select the file to use when programming the Program Area. Then, to ensure that no data
remains in the Data Area, you can check the Program even if has empty file list option for
that area. As a result your application will be programmed to the Program Area and the Data
Area will be programmed with the default value, FFh.
11.3 Configuring option byte settings
Option bytes control a variety of configurable features for ST7 Flash devices such as
memory write protection, clock source, watchdog and low voltage detection. The option byte
settings that you want to program to your target MCU are configured in the OPTION BYTE
tab.
With the Programmer window open (Tools>Programmer), select the OPTION BYTE tab
(Figure 260). The tab is divided into a Name field, which contains the abbreviated name for
each option byte, and Description field, which contains the settings that will be
programmed to your target MCU.

Note: The values shown are the factory default settings for your microcontroller. These settings
may not be the same as the settings in your actual target microcontroller.
