https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/Boot-iMX-8M-mini-LPDDR4-via-flash-conencted-to-ECSPI2/m...

Here has some question need you to provide more information:

1. Should spi nor bootloader can be use the same binary with SD card interface?

    If don't, how to generate a bootloader form spi nor flash via ecspi boot.

2. How to use uuu to burn this bootloader to spi nor? Should example_spinor.uuu can be use directly?

Thanks for your reply.
