MfgTool: flash multiple devices in parallel and pass a specific input argument different for each board

[paololacamera]

I am using MfgTool (IMX6_L4.9.11_1.0.0_MFG_TOOL) to flash up to 4 devices in parallel for my custom board based on imx6q.

I have my custom .vbs file and everything works fine meaning I am able to flash 4 images properly specifying PortMgrDlg=4 (or -p 4  as argument of mfgtoo2.exe).  So far so good. 

Now I would like to extend my usage to flash a board-specific parameter (e.g. MAC address).

As hard requirement I still want to flash 4 boards in parallel (to save time while producing the boards) and I want this input parameter to be different for each of the 4 board (e.g. specific MAC address per board).

I know I can add a custom input argument (in cfg.ini or as extra option with -s while running mfgtool2.exe) but if I do like this, the same extra input argument will be applied to all the 4 devices.

Is there any way to do it per specific board? I mean - one parameter/value for the board connected to port1, another one for the one connected  to port2 ,  port 3 and port4 respectively?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Paolo

one can check documentation in Document folder, but I am afraid passing parameter

for particular board is not supported. In general one can customize tool according one's

needs using mfg tool sources:

GitHub - codeauroraforum/mfgtools: Freescale/NXP I.MX Chip image deploy tools.

Hi Igor,

thanks for your reply.

I've followed your suggestion and I've customized the tool to accept also parameter per hub-port.

My request is now part of the windows branch and was merged (see Add the possibility to specify parameters specific per hub/port by sigurpol · Pull Request #30 · cod... ) .

Best regards
