Entering the Boot Loader Entering the Boot Loader takes place by a jump or call from the application program.
This may be initiated by a trigger such as a command received via USART, or SPI inter-
Program
face. Alternatively, the Boot Reset Fuse can be programmed so that the Reset Vector is
pointing to the Boot Flash start address after a reset. In this case, the Boot Loader is
started after a reset. After the application code is loaded, the program can start execut-
ing the application code. Note that the fuses cannot be changed by the MCU itself. This
means that once the Boot Reset Fuse is programmed, the Reset Vector will always
point to the Boot Loader Reset and the fuse can only be changed through the serial or
parallel programming interface.
