ATmega162/V
The program memory is updated in a page by page fashion. Before programming a page with
the data stored in the temporary page buffer, the page must be erased. The temporary page buf-
fer is filled one word at a time using SPM and the buffer can be filled either before the Page
Erase command or between a Page Erase and a Page Write operation:
Alternative 1, fill the buffer before a Page Erase
•
•
•
Alternative 2, fill the buffer after Page Erase
•
•
•
If only a part of the page needs to be changed, the rest of the page must be stored (for example
in the temporary page buffer) before the erase, and then be rewritten. When using alternative 1,
the Boot Loader provides an effective Read-Modify-Write feature which allows the user software
to first read the page, do the necessary changes, and then write back the modified data. If alter-
native 2 is used, it is not possible to read the old data while loading since the page is already
erased. The temporary page buffer can be accessed in a random sequence. It is essential that
the page address used in both the Page Erase and Page Write operation is addressing the same
page. See
code example.
To execute Page Erase, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “X0000011” to SPMCR and
execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCR. The data in R1 and R0 is ignored.
The page address must be written to PCPAGE in the Z-register. Other bits in the Z-pointer will
be ignored during this operation.

To write an instruction word, set up the address in the Z-pointer and data in R1:R0, write
“00000001” to SPMCR and execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCR. The con-
tent of PCWORD in the Z-register is used to address the data in the temporary buffer. The
temporary buffer will auto-erase after a Page Write operation or by writing the RWWSRE bit in
SPMCR. It is also erased after a System Reset. Note that it is not possible to write more than
one time to each address without erasing the temporary buffer.
Note:
To execute Page Write, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “X0000101” to SPMCR and
execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCR. The data in R1 and R0 is ignored.
The page address must be written to PCPAGE. Other bits in the Z-pointer must be written zero
during this operation.

If the EEPROM is written in the middle of an SPM Page Load operation, all data loaded will be
lost.
