DESCRIPTION
Block Lock provides a higher level of memory write control above SDP. Once locked, a block of memory must first be unlocked before being written. Not even a write operation using the SDP sequence will change the contents of a locked block. Since a distinct, 6 byte, software command sequence locks and unlocks the memory, the software developer has complete control of the memory contents.
