That will teach me to talk about chips I don't use. :-[
As a self inflicted punishment I had look up the data sheet:

Optional Boot Code Section with Independent Lock Bits

• USB boot-loader programmed by default in the factory **********

  • In-System Programming by on-chip Boot Program 
hardware-activated after reset

So looks like the USB type chips have a pre programmed BL.

Didn't know that it only has DW for debugging so the Dragon
or a JTAG Mk2 are the only tools available.
