2.5.2.2 BSL Read-out Policy

The BSL optionally supports read-out of the device memory for debug and/or diagnostic purposes (after access to the BSL has been granted with a correct password match). By default, this capability is disabled for security to prevent extraction of sensitive code and/or data from the device. When the BSL read-out policy is disabled, the only information which may be provided to a host through the BSL interface is a CRC32 digest of a memory segment with a minimum segment length of 1 kilobyte. If direct read-out of the device memory is desired, it may be enabled in the BSL configuration.
