Entering the Boot Loader Program
The bootloader can be executed with three different conditions:
23.6.1
Regular application conditions.
A jump or call from the application program. This may be initiated by a trigger such as a com-
mand received via USART, or SPI interface.
23.6.2
Boot Reset Fuse
The Boot Reset Fuse (BOOTRST) 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 executing the application code. Note
that the fuses cannot be changed by the MCU itself. This means that once the Boot Reset Fuse
