Bootstrap Loader (BSL)
The BSL enables users to program the flash memory or RAM using various serial interfaces. Access to the
device memory via the BSL is protected by an user-defined password. BSL entry requires a specific entry
sequence on the RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins. For complete description of the features of the
BSL and its implementation, see MSP430 Programming via the Bootstrap Loader (BSL) (SLAU319).

JTAG Standard Interface
The MSP430 family supports the standard JTAG interface which requires four signals for sending and receiving
data. The JTAG signals are shared with general-purpose I/O. The TEST/SBWTCK pin is used to enable the
JTAG signals. In addition to these signals, the RST/NMI/SBWTDIO is required to interface with MSP430
development tools and device programmers. The JTAG pin requirements are shown in Table 12. For further
details on interfacing to development tools and device programmers, see the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's
Guide (SLAU278) and MSP430 Programming Via the JTAG Interface (SLAU320).

Spy-Bi-Wire Interface
In addition to the standard JTAG interface, the MSP430 family supports the two-wire Spy-Bi-Wire interface. Spy-
Bi-Wire can be used to interface with MSP430 development tools and device programmers. The Spy-Bi-Wire
interface pin requirements are shown in Table 13. For further details on interfacing to development tools and
device programmers, see the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide (SLAU278) and MSP430 Programming Via
the JTAG Interface (SLAU320).
