MFG Tools for Linux

[netstv]

I'm working on the iMX28 and was wondering if anyone has ported the Mfgtools to linux?  If not, we will be starting that effort shortly and I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Chris.. we did it already.  We ported the USB downloader app, as that's all we wanted... Took about 3/4 of a day.

Freescale has not ported the MfgTool to Linux and do not have plans to do so at this time.  I estimate it would be a big undertaking as there is a lot of Windows specific code. For example, there is a considerable amount of code that crawls through the registry to link a specific USB Port to a GUI Panel.

I would suggest starting off with an “updater” app that only tries to communicate with a single device. Most of the real work is done in Apps/MfgTool.exe/ OpUtpUpdate.cpp (ucl.xml command processing) and Libs/DevSupport/HidDevice.cpp (ROM) and Libs/DevSupport/ Volume.cpp (UTP/MSC - Linux file-stor gadget).
