• Programming via N-Wire interface
• Programming with external flash programmer
While the self-programming mode can be initiated from the normal operation
mode the external flash programmer mode is entered immediately after
release of a system reset. Refer to
“Operation Modes“ on page 114
for details
on how to enter normal operation or external flash programming mode.
