Nations N32H7x Option Bytes Programming

The N32H7x series of devices comes with various security features that are controlled via programming of non-volatile option byte registers.

Important notes

• Setting RDP protection to level 2 will permanently lock the device(debug access is disabled).
• Writing of PFOER_CFG1 register is not supported in current version of the silicon.

Usage

DevPro -operation [operation_name] -if SWD -speed 4000 [-SetConfigVal parameter_name=value] -ScriptFile PCode_DevPro_ST_STM32H5.pex
