I know I'm the one who pushed for that commit to happen but now want to mitigate the claim above. True uuu depends on imx-uuc and mfgtools (1st of its name) too. BUT by looking at imx-uuc, the two use cases are separated into 2 different files: - uu.c: daemon that uses utp protocol to communicate with host - ufb.c: daemon that uses fastboot protocol to communicate with host So I think it should be safe to have both host clients co-existing for now. Maybe uu.c will be removed at some point in the future but I guess NXP will leave it there for a while. Regards, Gary
