2.6.1 Non-Read-While-Write Area of Flash Not Functional

The Non-Read-While-Write area of the Flash is not working as expected. The problem relates to the device speed when reading the Flash in this area.

Work Around

Only use the first 248 KB of the Flash
If boot functionality is needed, run the code in the Non-Read-While-Write area at a maximum of 1/4^th of the maximum device frequency at any given voltage by writing the CLKPR register before entering the boot section in the code.
