 *Protect Flash: It will switch on the Software-Data-Protection (SDP), it renders the Flash inaccessible.
-*Initialize Flash: Now, this function deactivates the SDP, so the Flash can be freely written. This function is especially important if you use a new Flash, which factory setting is: SDP = on.
