You wouldn't verify the written flash, you'd verify the data in ram before writing. With bad operation, you could always re-flash (up to 1,000 times). You can't verify, but also no one else can ever see your ROM image. It's locked down. :) -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of wouter van ooijen & floortje hanneman Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 6:30 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [PIC]: FINAL WORD: A great solution for the PIC16F877 problems (code protect,bootloader) > >Very simple: Allow me to disable ICSP reads no matter what, and allow me > to > >disable internal reads of the flash memory, but allow internal flash to be > >re-written. Bad idea, how would you VERIFY? Wouter -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
