The first startup of NXP-Flasher shows a window with default settings. After you adjust the settings to your needs and close the application, the settings will be saved in the configuration file. This allows retaining previous settings after restarting the application.
It is possible to save many more configuration files to the location you specify. It is possible to recreate a given configuration by loading a previously saved configuration.
Configuration File Export from GUI
The configuration file layout with the set values can be obtained by exporting the settings from the NXP-Flasher Windows GUI. To export a .cfg file, select “File-> Save Setup as..”.
“Save Setup” saves the settings to a default location
Configuration file content
The configuration file mainly contains parameters for commands sent to the MCU bootloader or Flashloader
The table below shows the list of parameters that are in the configuration file:
