When the host computer has completed downloading code into the MCU RAM, This code can be executed by driving PTA0 low while asserting RST low and then high. The internal monitor ROM firmware will interpret the low on PTA0 as an indication to jump to RAM, and execution control will then continue from RAM. Execution of an SWI from the downloaded code will return program control to the internal monitor ROM firmware. Alternatively, the host can send a RUN command, which executes an RTI, and this can be used to send control to the address on the stack pointer.

The COP module is disabled in monitor mode as long as VDD + VHI is

applied to either the IRQ1/VPP pin or the RST pin. (See Section 7. System Integration Module (SIM) for more information on modes of

operation.)

Table 10-2is a summary of the differences between user mode and

monitor mode.
