This section describes how to program the Non Volatile Memory (NVM) in XMEGA, and covers
both self-programming and external programming. The NVM consist of the Flash Program Mem-
ory, User Signature and Calibration rows, Fuses and Lock Bits, and EEPROM data memory. For
details on the actual memories, how they are organized and the register description for the NVM
Controller used to access the memories, refer to
The NVM can be accessed for read and write both from application software through self-pro-
gramming and from an external programmer. For both external programming and self-
programming access to the NVM is done through the common NVM Controller, and the two
methods of programming are very similar. Memory access is done by loading address and/or
data into the NVM, and a set of commands and triggers that make the NVM Controller perform
specific tasks on the NVM.
From external programming all memory spaces can be read and written, expect for the Calibra-
tion Row which can only be read. The device can be programmed in-system and is accessed
through the PDI using the PDI or JTAG physical interfaces,

Self-programming and Boot Loader support allows application software in the device to read and
write the Flash, User Signature Row and EEPROM, write the Lock Bits to a more secure setting,
and read the Calibration Row and Fuses. The Flash allows Read-While-Write self-programming
meaning that the CPU can continue to operate and execute code while the Flash is being pro-
grammed.
