3.6.2 Programming user option bytes
To run any operation on this sector, the option lock bit (OPTLOCK) in the Flash option
control register (FLASH_OPTCR) must be cleared. To be allowed to clear this bit, you have
to perform the following sequence:
1. Write OPTKEY1 = 0x0819 2A3B in the Flash option key register (FLASH_OPTKEYR)
2. Write OPTKEY2 = 0x4C5D 6E7F in the Flash option key register (FLASH_OPTKEYR)
The user option bytes can be protected against unwanted erase/program operations by
setting the OPTLOCK bit by software.
Modifying user option bytes
To modify the user option value, follow the sequence below:
1. Check that no Flash memory operation is ongoing by checking the BSY bit in the
FLASH_SR register
2. Write the desired option value in the FLASH_OPTCR register.
3. Set the option start bit (OPTSTRT) in the FLASH_OPTCR register
4. Wait for the BSY bit to be cleared.
Note: The value of an option is automatically modified by first erasing the user configuration sector
and then programming all the option bytes with the values contained in the FLASH_OPTCR
register.
3.6.3 Read protection (RDP)
The user area in the Flash memory can be protected against read operations by an
entrusted code. Three read protection levels are defined:
• Level 0: no read protection
When the read protection level is set to Level 0 by writing 0xAA into the read protection
option byte (RDP), all read/write operations (if no write protection is set) from/to the
nWRP: Flash memory write protection option bytes
Sectors 0 to 7 can be write protected.
Bits 7:0
nWRPi
If SPRMOD is reset (default value) :
0: Write protection active on sector i.
1: Write protection not active on sector i.
If SPRMOD is set (active):
0: PCROP protection not active on sector i.
1: PCROP protection active on sector i.
