Extra factory data in MSP430Gxx Information memory

Hi,

We have received few reports from our customers and flash programming partners
about an additional data present in the MSP430Gxx Information memory.

Reported devices:MSP430G2432,MSP430G2231 etc

As you know the MSP430Gxx series device will have factory calibrated
data written into the Information Memory A(0x10C0 - 0x10FF).
And the remaining segments Seg B,C,D should be empty.

But we have found data written(in factory) into the these segments(B,C,D) also.

Below is the example showing some extra data present in the
Information memory of MSP430G2432(unprogrammed device)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=== Information Memory Segments 0x1000 - 0x10FF ======

0x1000: AA 55 FF 3F CD AB AA 55 34 12 FF FF FF FF FF FF | .U.?...U4.......
0x1010: ------- b l a n k ----(all 0xFF)-------

0x10C0: 04 71 FE 16 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF | .q..............
0x10D0: FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 08 10 EC 7F 01 00 | ...............
0x10E0: 28 7E E6 02 69 03 99 7E BB 01 07 02 FE 08 FF FF | (~..i..~........
0x10F0: FF FF FF FF FF FF 01 08 9C 8F A5 8E 96 8D CA 86 | ................

========== Main Memory Segments 0xE000 - 0xFFFF ======
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this a extra/garbage data or TI has purposefully written for some test?

Till last year we didn't had reports like this but many of the
recent MSP430Gxx series devices has this issue.

Prad.
