-MfgTools Howto
-==============
-
-1. Build your mfgtool image
-
-Make sure to enable the following Buildroot options:
-
-BR2_PACKAGE_FREESCALE_IMX=y
-BR2_PACKAGE_IMX_UUC=y
-BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO=y
-BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO_GZIP=y
-BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO_UIMAGE=y
-
-Also modify your kernel configuration to have:
-
-CONFIG_USB_GADGET=y
-CONFIG_USB_MASS_STORAGE=y
-CONFIG_FSL_UTP=y
-CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS=16
-
-2. Go into the output and create the necessary folders
-
-$ cd output
-$ mkdir -p "Profiles/Linux/OS Firmware/firmware"
-
-3. Create your XML update script named ucl2.xml
-
-You can find a sample XML at:
-
-$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/boundarydevices.com/ucl2.xml \
-  -O Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/ucl2.xml
-
-4. Copy the U-Boot, Kernel and initramfs images to the appropriate
-folder
-
-$ cp images/u-boot.imx images/zImage images/imx6q-sabrelite.dtb \
-  images/rootfs.cpio.uboot Profiles/Linux/OS\ Firmware/firmware/
-
-5. Copy the prebuilt binaries to be flashed
-
-Depending on your ucl2.xml file, the sample doesn't flash anything.
-
-6. Run the MfgTools client:
-
-$ ./host/bin/mfgtoolcli -l mmc -s uboot_defconfig=imx \
-  -s dtbname=imx6q-sabrelite.dtb -s initramfs=rootfs.cpio.uboot \
-  -s mmc=1 -p 1
-
-For more information about the tools options, please read the
-"Manufacturing Tool V2 Quick Start Guide.docx" documentation contained
-in every mfgtools package from NXP website[1].
-
-Note: All the above commands require your Linux host user to have
-permissions to access the USB devices. Please make sure to have udev
-rules that allow the user to communicate with the BootROM IDs
-(Freescale USB recovery) as well as the one used for the UTP Linux
-image (0x066F:0x37FF).  Using 'sudo' in front of the mfgtoolcli
-command would also grant you the necessary permission but it is *not*
-recommended.
-
-Also, if your U-Boot environment doesn't include mfgtools bootargs,
-make sure to set the following:
-
-setenv bootargs "console=${console},${baudrate} g_mass_storage.stall=0 \
-	g_mass_storage.removable=1 g_mass_storage.idVendor=0x066F \
-	g_mass_storage.idProduct=0x37FF g_mass_storage.iSerialNumber=\"\" \
-	g_mass_storage.file=/fat"
