8.5 Program Options
Choose to erase all memory before programming or to merge code.
| Erase All Before Program | Enabling this option will cause the entire device to be erased prior
to programming the data from MPLAB X IDE. Any
memory areas designated to be preserved will be read before the device
is erased and reprogrammed on the device when the device is programmed.
Unless programming new or already erased devices, it is important to have this box checked. If not checked, the device is not erased and program code will be merged with the code already in the device. |
