Code Protection Fuses
Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2008 7:58 am
I have a question.
I'm trying to build a bootloader on the beginning of the memory. Also i wish to protect that zone for accidental write. So... practically i should protect only the BL sector.
Also i wish to protect entire code memory from all sectors.... just because i want to avoid any illegal copy of firmware. But if i do so... can i still reprogram it from bootloader?

In the following post on the Microchip forum, a method is proposed
in which the code protection in a bootloader could be broken.

You could investigate this, and see if it's true for your PIC. If so,
then your code will not be secure.
