I was told that I cannot copy a code protected PIC.
Question:
1. If I program a PIC with code protection enabled, the code is protected from copying by a second party ? right ?
2. If I program a PIC with code protection enabled, will I be able to erase it and program it again after modifying the code ?

You can.

Yes.

2. If I program a PIC with code protection enabled, will I be able to erase it and program it again after modifying the code ?

Yes.

One thing you cannot do is in-circuit debug with the code protect bits set. I usually add a directive to automatically un-set the protection bits if I am building in debug mode. This way, I don't have to remember to set them when I build for release.

 

You can.

I CAN copy a code protected PIC.
As in read the HEX file and write to a fresh PIC.

Sorry. I meant you can code-protect a PIC so it cannot be copied.

 

Aah !
Thanks again.
