Write Values
- Write 00h to lock the flash. Write 01h to unlock it.
Comments
When the flash chip is locked, then write/erase instructions are rejected. In addition, protected pages cannot be read. There is only one protected page. On the normal 83+, this is page 1Eh. On the normal 84+, it is 3Eh. On the 83+ SE and 84+ SE it is 7Eh. This page holds the certification data, which includes ID number, validation number, application authorizations, public keys, and other related data.
Use bit 2 of port 2 to check if flash is unlocked.
Other protected ports may be written to from any area (unprivileged ROM, RAM, etc) without requiring a special sequence once Flash is unlocked.
