MSP432P401R: LM FlashProgrammer like utility for field programming of the MSP432 through the default boot UART.

Part Number: MSP432P401R

I am coming from the world of the TM4C (Tiva) and have made frequent use of the LM Flash Programming tool for field programming the TM4C flash.

Now I am working on a design using the MSP432 and would like to know if there is a similar utility for field flash programming.

    I apparently need help setting up the MSP432 Hex tool to produce the TI TXT file in the correct format.
