Hello all,

 

I have been trying to understand the importance of the BSL. From the TI doc, "Programming with the BSL" I realize that BSL is used to access Memory, during the different phases of the controller.

 

My question is: why do we need this BSL? is it required to calibrate the controller? like setting the temperature and operating

conditions, before the controller takes the program execution address from the reset vector?

 

Generally, from my understanding and usage: we used the JTAG, FET tool to download the code onto the controller, to debug the code. Then why do we need the BSL?

 

Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences!
