Hi,

I have two questions on this topic:
1. How can I check if my Gnuk Token (FST-01) has this protection
mechanism enabled?
It came without Gnuk pre-installed (IIRC it had NeuG) so my
understanding is that the protection is disabled by default.
2. Did I get it right that I need ST-Link/V2 hardware to enable this
protection mechanism?
The "How to protect flash ROM" section in Gnuk's README tells me to
use OpenOCD, an "Open on-chip JTAG debug solution for ARM and MIPS
systems".
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
