The boot loader (DFU) is also designed such that, when you plug
in the device, it always runs first, no matter what you did to
the application. The boot loader itself is protected against
erasing or overwriting by code running on the chip. So it should
be fairly hard to terminally "brick" an atusb or anything using
the same architecture.
