Note:
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:

be set in software and in Serial or Parallel Programming mode, but they can be cleared by a chip
erase command only. The general Write Lock (Lock bit mode 2) does not control the program-
ming of the Flash memory by SPM instruction. Similarly, the general Read/Write Lock (Lock bit
mode 3) does not control reading nor writing by LPM/SPM, if it is attempted.
