I'm not reading the thread as it -- again -- contains loads of baseless "is 
broken" and "doesn't work" accusations left and right, sorry. I am CCing Fabio.

The issue with the bad sectors is known. This is because the kobs-ng scans the 
NAND and fills the DBBT. This is not something that can be done off-line, so the 
mxsboot can never generate such a image per-se. It can on the other hand 
generate a bootable image. Note that the mxsboot is by default configured for 
2048+64 bps flashes.

Best regards,
