Hi @fabtav ,
Thank you for your interest in the NXP MIMXRT product, I would like to provide service for you.
I think Flash verification is important. Flash verification reads the data from Flash and compares it with the original file. If there are any inconsistencies, you will know something wrong, which helps you to make sure the stability of the system.
Of course, you can also choose not to perform Flash verification, it depend on your need.
As for the question "If so, is there a way to run "start execution from reset" after verification?" I suggest you can check linkserver help, and find any command can realized it.
I would like give a useful link to you.

Wish it helps you.
If you still have question about it, please kindly let me know.
Wish you a nice day!
Best Regards
