MSP430FR2676: Using BSL UART without MSP-FET nor MSP-BSL"Rocket"

Part Number: MSP430FR2676
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

Hi,

My customer is thinking to use BSL UART to write their firmware on MSP430FR2676.
I checked a few documents (slau319ab.pdf, slau550aa.pdf) and found MSP-FET or MSP-BSL"Rocket" is needed as communication bridge.
I understood UART TX, UART RX, nDTR, nRTS are needed other than power and GND.

The customer wonders if generic USB-to-UART cables (FTDI 3.3V cable) can be used instead of above TI specific products.
Is this possible? 

If not, is there other method to write a firmware using USB-to-UART cable?

Thanks and regards,
Koichiro Tashiro
