Performing a Page Write
To execute Page Write, set up the address in the Z-pointer, write “00000101” to SPMCSR and
execute SPM within four clock cycles after writing SPMCSR. 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 to zero during this operation.
• The CPU is halted during the Page Write operation.

Addressing the Flash During Self-Programming
The Z-pointer is used to address the SPM commands.
Since the Flash is organized in pages (see
), the Program Counter can
be treated as having two different sections. One section, consisting of the least significant bits,
is addressing the words within a page, while the most significant bits are addressing the
pages. This is shown in
Figure 23-1
. Note that the Page Erase and Page Write operations are
addressed independently. Therefore it is of major importance that the software addresses the
same page in both the Page Erase and Page Write operation.
The LPM instruction uses the Z-pointer to store the address. Since this instruction addresses
the Flash byte-by-byte, also the LSB (bit Z0) of the Z-pointer is used.
