SLAS612F page 43 Table 6-2 footnote (1) reads, "The BSL area contains a Texas Instruments provided BSL and cannot be modified."
SLAU319AC page 42 table 24 entry for MSP430F5438 BSL Version 00.01.01.01 reads, "...The BSL can be safely erased however."
Other documents refer to customizing BSL, altering the JTAG "password" in the BSL flash area, etc.
Which is correct?
