8.2.4 Protection Region n Control Register
Legend: n = Region number, x = Loaded from Configuration bits, W = Writable bit, R = Readable bit
Note:
- Register is read-only unless
RTYPE[1:0] bits are ‘
11’ and LOCK[1:0] bits (PRnLOCK[1:0]) are ‘11’. Firmware configurable region descriptors are locked (read-only) at Reset and must be unlocked with a write to PRnLOCK before being modified. - IRT regions: all access disabled when the PLCK bit (IRTCRTL[4]) is set. For the OTP regions, the region write permissions are disabled, regardless of the WR bit. OTP and IRT are permanent regions.
- The WR bit is not used for OTP regions; write permissions are always disabled for OTP regions.
