External Hardware conditions
The Hardware Boot Enable Fuse (HWBE) can be programmed (See Table 23-5) so that upon
special hardware conditions under reset, the bootloader execution is forced after reset.

PD7/HWB pin can not be used to force Boot Loader execution after reset
PD7/HWB pin is used during reset to force bootloader execution after reset
Note:
1. “1” means unprogrammed, “0” means programmed
When the HWBE fuse is enable the PD7/HWB pin is configured as input during reset and sam-
pled during reset rising edge. When PD7/HWB pin is ‘0’ during reset rising edge, the reset vector
will be set as the Boot Loader Reset address and the Boot Loader will be executed (See Figures
23-3).
