3.4 BSL Time-out Feature

The BSL on the FR26xx, FR25xx, FR24xx, and FR23xx MCUs implements a low-power time-out feature for the automatic detection of the BSL interface. If no communication has been established within ten seconds, the device enters LPM4 mode. To invoke the BSL again, the device power must be cycled, or a reset or NMI must be received.
