The contents of the CPU's internal general registers are undefined at this time, so these
registers must be initialized immediately after branching to the programming control program.
In particular, since the stack pointer (SP) is used implicitly in subroutine calls, etc., a stack area
must be specified for use by the programming control program.
The initial values of other on-chip registers are not changed.
• Boot mode can be entered by making the pin settings shown in table 20-5 and executing a
reset-start.
Boot mode can be cleared by driving the reset pin low, waiting at least 20 states, then setting
the FWE pin and mode pins, and executing reset release
WDT overflow reset.
Do not change the mode pin input levels in boot mode, and do not drive the FWE pin low
while the boot program is being executed or while flash memory is being programmed or

.
• If the mode pin input levels are changed (for example, from low to high) during a reset, the
state of ports with multiplexed address functions and bus control output pins (AS, RD, HWR)
will change according to the change in the microcomputer's operating mode
Therefore, care must be taken to make pin settings to prevent these pins from becoming output
signal pins during a reset, or to prevent collision with signals outside the microcomputer.
Notes: *1 Mode pin and FWE pin input must satisfy the mode programming setup time (t
states) with respect to the reset release timing.

Memory Programming and Erasing Precautions.

User Program Mode

When set to user program mode, the chip can program and erase its flash memory by executing a
user program/erase control program. Therefore, on-board reprogramming of the on-chip flash
memory can be carried out by providing on-board means of FWE control and supply of
programming data, and storing a program/erase control program in part of the program area as
necessary.
To select user program mode, select a mode that enables the on-chip flash memory (modes 6 or 7),
and apply a high level to the FWE pin. In this mode, on-chip supporting modules other than flash
memory operate as they normally would in modes 6 and 7.
The flash memory itself cannot be read while the SWE bit is set to 1 to perform programming or
erasing, so the control program that performs programming and erasing should be run in on-chip
RAM or external memory. When a program is in external memory, an instruction for writing to
flash memory and the following instruction must be in the on-chip RAM.
