The In-System Programming mode allows the microcontroller to be programmed even after it has been soldered in a printed circuit board.

This feature can be used to perform firmware updates at the end of the production line.

Typical applications include adding calibration information or installation of the latest software release.

In-System programming may also be used during product development as a quick and easy way to modify program code.
