I have just tested this utility:

./msecli -U -i ../opt/frimware/MU02 -m BX100
./msecli -L

did work as expected (flashing the firmware and listing the firmware 
status of the device) besides the many other useful options it offers 
apart from flashing the firmware (debug-log, secure-erase, ... )

./msecli -D -n /dev/sde ... did print a success message for a clean new 
drive from factory but no more information

while (the following command should prepare the drive for removal)
./msecli -Z -n /dev/sde
says:
This command is not supported for the drive.
however it is recognized as BX100 since I get another error message with 
non crucial drives.

nice.
