4 Option byte description
There are six option bytes. They are configured by the end user depending on the
application requirements. As a configuration example, the watchdog may be selected in
hardware or software mode.
A 32-bit word is split up as follows in the option bytes.
The organization of these bytes inside the information block is as shown in Tabl e 10 .
The option bytes can be read from the memory locations listed in Tab l e 1 0 or from the
Option byte register (FLASH_OBR).
Note: The new programmed option bytes (user, read/write protection) are loaded after a system
reset.
