Reference function: ProgramLockKey
For the MSP430FR5xx family, it is NOT required to apply a special high voltage to the device's TEST pin.
FRAM-based devices use a LockKey that is written into a special location to secure the device. The devices support two different levels of protection: "protected mode" for FR5xx and FR6xx devices only and "secured mode" for all FRAM devices.
In the protected mode, the application can define a password and protect the device with this password. The UnlockDevice function could be used to connect to the device by applying the correct password (see Section 2.4.4 for detailed information). For general information about the password, see the MSP430FR57xx Family User's Guide.
In the secured mode, the device cannot be accessed through JTAG. To enable the secured mode, write 0x55555555 to the memory location 0xFF80. After writing the password, a BOR is required to enable the security fuse.
