Hi @Snichols ,

   Thank you for your interest in the NXP MIMXRT product, I would like to provide service for you.

  What's the UUU full name you are meaning? UID?

   Please share more information to us, thanks.

   When you switch to the serial download mode, it normally will connect the PC blhost tools, and run the flashloader. flashloader is the RAM code. If you want to read some register, you also can write the code in the flashloader or the RAM code, then even the serial download mode, you still can do it.

Wish it helps you!

If you still have question about it, please kindly let me know.

Best Regards,

Kerry

Apologies for not fully describing, the UUU is a serail download tool provided by NXP for its family of products I beleive.
UUU (Universal Update Utility)

I have used the preceding tool version of this for years (sbLoader) with the imx6, it seems that tools has morphed into the UUU and I would like to use it with the RT1176 M7 core on the RT1170 Evaluation kit with its BOOTMODE pins set to serial download.

Hi @Snichols ,

  You can use the MFG tool in your MIMXRT1170-EVK board, you can refer to this document:

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN12107.pdf

  But, to RT, the serial download mode, I highly recommend you use the new tool, MCUXPresso secure provisional tool or the mcubootutility tool, which are more easy to use.

1. mcuxpresso secure provisional tool:

2. mcubootutility tool:
