Here's my question which confused me for few days:
I use imx_usb_loader and fastboot to flash nor flash and have successfully loaded u-boot to the RAM via imx_usb_loader, when I try to flash recovery image to nor flash, I get errors:

I have tried different cables and different host PCs with both Ubuntu and Windows, the problem is still unresolved.
Any idea is appreciated.
Hi 文明 徐
imx_usb_loader is not supported by nxp as this is third party tool.
