Re: [AVR-Chat] Fuses: Permanently disable spi/isp

2007-10-23 by Manne Tallmarken

Well, the thing is that I don't want it to be possible to get the hex-code in any way. Like, programming it, disabling every way to read the flash
and that's it. So actually, write-access would be aloud if the hex-code is erased in the same time...
