On i.MX a bootloader image can't be written to Nand directly. In barebox
you can update barebox with the barebox_update command which has support
for the special image format requirements of the i.MX6. I currently
don't know any userspace code that can do this, apart from mfgtools or
other tools from the NXP universe that I have never used. Somebody told
me he wanted to port the i.MX6 barebox update code to userspace, but
unfortunately I can't remember who it was and I can't find any pointers
to it.
Regards,
Sascha
