FlashLoader tool for imxRT1172

[Shiva-2022]

Hello Support Team,

We are working on i.MX RT 1172 microcontroller.

We wanted to test the booting from NAND flash to RAM.

Do we have any FLashloader tool for flashing the bootloable image to External flash i.e., NAND Flash.

We have checked in the NXP the forum topics related to Flashloader ( found flash loader for i.MX-RT1050), but we didn't find any flashloader for flashing the External NAND flash (custom board ) for i.MX RT 1172 board.

Please suggest.

Thank you.

Hello
I hope you are well.

Flashloader for RT1170 is located in the MCU boot middleware from the SDK. You can use MCUBootUtility or Secure Provisioning Tool to load an image on your custom device.
