30.8 CPU Rewrite Mode
In CPU rewrite mode, the flash memory can be rewritten when the CPU executes software commands.
Program ROM 1, program ROM 2, and data flash can be rewritten with the MCU mounted on the board
and without using a ROM programmer.
The program and block erase commands are executed only in individual block areas of program ROM 1,
program ROM 2, and data flash.
EW0 mode and EW1 mode are available in CPU rewrite mode. Table 30.11 lists the differences between
EW0 mode and EW1 mode.
Refer to 30.8.1 "EW0 Mode" and 30.8.2 "EW1 Mode" for details.
