PM0068 Reading/programming the STM32F101xF/G and STM32F103xF/G embedded Flash memo-

Doc ID 17100 Rev 2

Once the protection byte has been programmed:

●

Main Flash memory read access is not allowed except for the user code (when booting

from main Flash memory itself with the debug mode not active).

●

Pages 0-1 are automatically write-protected. The rest of the memory can be

programmed by the code executed from the main Flash memory (for IAP, constant

storage, etc.), but it is protected against write/erase (but not against mass erase) in

debug mode or when booting from the embedded SRAM.

●

All features linked to loading code into and executing code from the embedded SRAM

are still active (JTAG/SWD and boot from embedded SRAM) and this can be used to

disable the read protection. When the read protection option byte is altered to a

memory-unprotect value, a mass erase is performed.

●

When booting from the embedded SRAM, Flash memory accesses through the code

and through data read using DMA1 and DMA2 are not allowed.

●

Flash memory access through data read using JTAG, SWV (serial wire viewer),

SWD(serial wire debug), ETM and boundary scan are not allowed.

The Flash memory is protected when the RDP option byte and its complement contain the

pair of values shown in Table 2.

Note:

Erasing the option byte block will not trigger a mass erase as the erased value (0xFF)

corresponds to a protected value.

Unprotection

To disable the read protection from the embedded SRAM:

●

Erase the entire option byte area. As a result, the read protection code (RDP) will be

0xFF. At this stage the read protection is still enabled.

●

Program the correct RDP code 0x00A5 to unprotect the memory. This operation first

forces a Mass Erase of the main Flash memory. Mass erase is performed both on

bank 1 and bank 2.

●

Reset the device (POR Reset) to reload the option bytes (and the new RDP code) and,

to disable the read protection.

Note:

The read protection can be disabled using the boot loader (in this case only a System Reset

is necessary to reload the option bytes). For more details refer to AN2606.

2.4.2

Write protection

From page 0 to page 61, write protection is implemented with a granularity of two pages at a

time. The remaining memory block (from page 62 to page 511) is write-protected at once.

If a program or an erase operation is performed on a protected page, the Flash memory

returns a protection error flag on the Flash memory Status Register (FLASH_SR).
