Target MCU device type can be selected from the pull down field of the Family, Group, and Name menus shown in Figure 4.2. The pull down fields contains a list of all devices in the selected category currently available.
When communication between the microcontroller and the programming adapter is initialized, the software will detect the target microcontroller automatically. The type of detected microcontroller is displayed in the field "Target:". This allows the software to warn the user if the connected microcontroller does not match the one specified during configuration.

4.3 Flash Protection Bits or Option Bytes
...
Although some devices allow the user to reset these protection bits to factory settings using the "Clear Locked Device" procedure, not all devices support this feature. On a few devices protection bits cannot be re-programmed once committed. Therefore it is important to verify if the recovery procedure is supported on the target MCU by checking the relevant technical reference manual if you intend to program protection bits multiple times.
Some processor revisions are known to contain bugs that prevent memory protection bits from being committed (e.g. see LM3S3748 RevA0 errata). In some cases you can still disable debug access because the debug register commits successfully, consult MCU errata on the relevant vendor’s website regarding the revision you are using. When the programmer detects that protection bits have not been programmed successfully, but the user has requested to program debug bits, a popup message will ask if programming should proceed anyway (see Figure 4.7). Normally, the debug register is programmed last only if all other operations are successful.

Figure 4.7: The programmer will ask the user if they wish to program the debug register even if protection bits haven't been programmed successfully. This is useful in overcoming some processor bugs that prevent protection bits from being committed.On other MCUs where the debug configuration is separate from flash erase and write protections, it is enough to enable the correct bits in the Setup→Memory Protection dialog screen to avoid errata issues.
