Register description
11.2.1
MCUCR – MCU Control Register
Bit 1 – IVSEL: Interrupt Vector Select
When the IVSEL bit is cleared (zero), the Interrupt Vectors are placed at the start of the Flash memory. When this
bit is set (one), the Interrupt Vectors are moved to the beginning of the Boot Loader section of the Flash. The actual
address of the start of the Boot Flash Section is determined by the BOOTSZ Fuses. Refer to the section
“BootInterrupt Vector tables, a special write procedure must be followed to change the IVSEL bit:
1.
Write the Interrupt Vector Change Enable (IVCE) bit to one.
2.
Within four cycles, write the desired value to IVSEL while writing a zero to IVCE.
Interrupts will automatically be disabled while this sequence is executed. Interrupts are disabled in the cycle IVCE
is set, and they remain disabled until after the instruction following the write to IVSEL. If IVSEL is not written, inter-
rupts remain disabled for four cycles. The I-bit in the Status Register is unaffected by the automatic disabling.
Note:
If Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Boot Loader section and Boot Lock bit BLB02 is programmed, interrupts are dis-
abled while executing from the Application section. If Interrupt Vectors are placed in the Application section and Boot
Lock bit BLB12 is programed, interrupts are disabled while executing from the Boot Loader section. Refer to the sec-
Bit 0 – IVCE: Interrupt Vector Change Enable
The IVCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the IVSEL bit. IVCE is cleared by hardware four
cycles after it is written or when IVSEL is written. Setting the IVCE bit will disable interrupts, as explained in the
IVSEL description above. See the code example below.
