About NXP-MCUBootUtility

[norihiromichiga]

Hello, 

I have question about NXP-MCUBootUtility for i.MX-RT.

This is really nice tool we can use to flash an external SPI NOR flash via i.MX-RT.

But does NXP have any written license agreement or disclaimer for this utility?

IOW, I want to know who is responsible to maintain this utility.

I'm asking this because when our customer uses this utility at their production line,  

If they find a problem or unexpected behavior on this utility, 

I want to know how we can ask NXP to help such incident.  i.e., bug fix.

Thanks,

Hi Norihiro Michigami 

Thanks for your reply.
Q1) NXP is not responsible to maintain this tool, am I right?
-- From the copyright's perspective, the answer is Yes, however, it's okay for you to share the feedback to his blog or the NXP community either, the author also would give the reply in the community.

Hope this is clear.
Have a great day,
TIC
