Preliminary
SPECIFICATION CAN ISP
3. Functionality Description
3.1. Software Security Bit (SSB)
The Software Security Bits are protected for all Api’s access from ISP.
The command "Program Software Security Bit" can only write a higher priority level.
There are three levels of security:
•level 0: NO_SECURITY (FFh)
This is the default level.
From level 0, one can write level 1 or level 2.
•level 1: WRITE_SECURITY (FEh)
For this level it is impossible to write in the Flash memory, BSB and SBV.
The Bootloader returns ID_ERROR message.
From level 1, one can write only level 2.
•level 2: RD_WR_SECURITY (FCh)
The level 2 forbids all read and write accesses to/from the Flash memory.
The Bootloader returns ID_ERROR message.
Only a full chip erase in parallel mode (using a programmer) or ISP command can reset the software security bits.
From level 2, one cannot read and write anything.
Table 2. Protected Level
3.2. Full Chip Erase
The ISP command "Full Chip Erase" erases all flash memory (fills with FFh) and sets somes bytes used by the
bootloader at their default values:
•BSB = FFh
•SBV = FFh
•EB = FFh
•SSB = FFh
