 Description   

By default, CLI Erase command for MSP430Gx will erase calibration data in INFOA memory

ex: dslite.bat -c MSP430G2452.ccxml -b Erase

It will perform a Mass Erase that will erase all of main memory and information memory segments A-D. Calibration data is in stored in segment A.

This is likely not desired behavior for the default.

Note that the same exact command in UniFlash 4.6 (using the same ccxml file) does NOT erase segment A. This is likely the desired default behavior.

There seems to be some regression. I'm not sure if it is a UniFlash issue or if it is an issue with the Mass Erase functionality.
