2.5 Bootloader (BSL)

The BSL is software that is used to reprogram the MCU; for example, during field firmware updates. On the F2xx family of devices, the BSL uses a Timer_A-based UART and is located in ROM. The BSL is not erasable or customizable by the user.

The FR59xx family follows a similar approach wherein the BSL software is located in ROM. It occupies the address range 0x1000 to 0x17FF and cannot be erased or reprogrammed. In terms of the communication interface, the FR59xx is also based on the UART protocol similar to the F2xx devices. However, it uses the hardware USCI_A module to implement UART communication instead of using Timer_A. Hence, the module pins UCA0TXD and UCA0RXD are used for BSL communication.

Disabling the BSL is possible with the FR59xx family by programming a signature to the BSL signature location. This process is documented in the SYS chapter in the MSP430FR58xx, MSP430FR59xx, MSP430FR68xx, and MSP430FR69xx Family User's Guide. Note that the location and length of the BSL signature is different from the F2xx family.

FR59xx device variants using an I2C hardware interface for the BSL are also available. However, for a given device variant, only the factory-configured interface can be used.
