Data0=<Value>:
Data0 sets the Data0 option byte.
The <Value> should be in [0..0xFF].
Note: Not available on STM32 F2, STM32 F4 and STM32 L1 devices.

Data1=<Value>:
Data1 sets the Data1 option byte.
The <Value> should be in [0..0xFF].
Note: Not available on STM32 F2, STM32 F4 and STM32 L1 devices.

WRP=<Value>:
WRP enables/disables write protection of the MCU flash sectors.
Each bit will Enable/Disable the write protection of one sector or more depending on the
connected device.
For STM32 L1 devices, WRP[i] = 0 : Flash sector(s) is protected.
For other devices, WRP[i] = 1 : Flash sector(s) is protected.
This command is sufficient to enable/disable all flash sectors protection except for STM32
L1 High density where WRP2 and WRP3 commands are needed.
The <Value> should be in [0..0xFFFFFFFF]

WRP2=<Value>:
WRP2 is available only for STM32 L1 high density devices to enable/disable the protection
of flash sectors from sector 512 to sector 1023.
The <Value> should be in [0..0xFFFFFFFF]

WRP3=<Value>:
WRP3 is available only for STM32 L1 high density devices to enable/disable the protection
of flash sectors from sector 1024 to sector 1535.
The <Value> should be in [0..0xFFFFFFFF]

Note: 1 All parameters listed above should be in hexadecimal format.
