The WPROT bit can be used to protect the contents of FRAM from being unintentionally modified. When the WPROT is set, reading is allowed, but no writing to FRAM memory is allowed. If a write access is attempted with WPROT = 1, the WPIFG (write protection flag) bit is set. In this case, the error generates a system NMI (SYSNMI) if the WPIE (write protection interrupt enable) bit is set. Note that writing-to-FRAM is also blocked when the ACCTEIFG bit is set due to a timing violation. The WPIFG bit is set when a write access is attempted with ACCTEIFG = 1.
The WPROT bit protects the entire FRAM from unintended writes regardless of MPU configurations, so this bit should be used as temporary protection. To protect a portion of the FRAM permanently, use the MPU module (see Section 9, Memory Protection Unit). Write protection is disabled after BOR (WPROT = 0).
