About:
uuu (Universal Update Utility) is the next-generation replacement for the MFGTool suite, designed for deploying firmware and operating system images to NXP i.MX System-on-Chip devices. It operates in both a command-line interface for automation and a GUI mode for interactive use. The tool communicates with devices in a pre-boot USB recovery mode (Fastboot) to flash partitions, memory, and bootloaders.

Key Features:

Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)
Automated scripting via 'uuu' binary or GUI via 'uuu-uac'
Supports multiple protocols including SDP, FBTP, and UUU
Fast and reliable image flashing to eMMC or SD cards

Use Cases:

Flashing factory firmware onto NXP i.MX based embedded devices
Updating bootloaders and kernel images during development
Mass production programming of embedded hardware

Alternatives:

MFGTool 2 – Legacy NXP tool; uuu is the official successor with better CLI support and cross-platform compatibility.
