Few people uses mfgtool; in fact I think it is a disaster. I am not a
Windoze guy and I don't trust it to rely on it for manufactur. For
O.S. Systems customers we use imx-usb-load whenever it is possible
(always).

As I am not an user of it, I stopped testing it on regular basis. If
you are intending to use I will be happy to review the patches and
make next mfgtool life easier ;-)
