I may be using the wrong terminology. All I meant was that I send the hex code along with the gerbers and BOM and the assembly house includes loading the chips with my hex code as part of the assembly cost. But I don't know how they do it. But in addition to error-checking the initial loading of the hex code, I also want to re-validate the program memory space on each power-up and have the code not run if the code is not validated. I believe I can do this if I switch to a part like the 12F1xxx family.
