Configuration Words

Configuration Words (PIC® MCU Targets)

Configuration Word settings included in the project being programmed after program Flash is programmed. The debugger will not mask out any bits in the Configuration Words when writing them, but since it uses Low-Voltage Programming mode, it is unable to clear the LVP Configuration bit. If the incorrect clock source is selected, for example, and the board does not boot, it is always possible to perform a bulk erase (always done before programming) and restore the device to its default settings.
