Program from MUC

[rabhishek91]

Hi. I have some weird doubt.
Usually we burn/transfer the program to Micro-controller.

Can this be done the other way ?

I mean can we get to know the program from Micro-controller by any means ?

You mean read the program from the microcontroller?

Yes and no. If the programming hardware/software is capable of reading it, and if code protection was not enabled at the time that the microcontroller was programmed, then yes you should be able to read it.

However, if the code protect was enabled at the time the micro was programmed, then you cannot read it back.

Thank you sir. You have answered to the point.
