6.5 Bootstrap Loader (BSL)
The BSL enables programming of the FRAM or RAM using a UART serial interface (FRxxxx devices) or
an I2C interface (FRxxxx1 devices). Access to the device memory via the BSL is protected by an user-
defined password. Use of the BSL requires four pins as shown in Table 6-4. 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 the MSP430 Memory Programming User's Guide
(SLAU265).

6.6 JTAG Operation
6.6.1 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 6-5. For further details on interfacing to development tools and device programmers, see the
MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide (SLAU278).

6.6.2 Spy-Bi-Wire Interface
In addition to the standard JTAG interface, the MSP430 family supports the 2-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 6-6. For further details on interfacing to
development tools and device programmers, see the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide (SLAU278).
