3.

Keep the AVR core in Power-down sleep mode during periods of low V

CC

. This will pre-

vent the CPU from attempting to decode and execute instructions, effectively protecting
the SPMCSR Register and thus the Flash from unintentional writes.

Programming Time for Flash when Using SPM

The calibrated RC Oscillator is used to time Flash accesses.

Table 23-6

shows the typical pro-

gramming time for Flash accesses from the CPU.

Simple Assembly Code Example for a Boot Loader

;-the routine writes one page of data from RAM to Flash

; the first data location in RAM is pointed to by the Y pointer

; the first data location in Flash is pointed to by the Z-pointer

;-error handling is not included

;-the routine must be placed inside the Boot space

; (at least the Do_spm sub routine). Only code inside NRWW section can

; be read during Self-Programming (Page Erase and Page Write).

;-registers used: r0, r1, temp1 (r16), temp2 (r17), looplo (r24),

; loophi (r25), spmcrval (r20)

; storing and restoring of registers is not included in the routine

; register usage can be optimized at the expense of code size

;-It is assumed that either the interrupt table is moved to the Boot

; loader section or that the interrupts are disabled.
