Speaking with my rauc maintainer hat on...

Writing barebox to NAND on an i.MX6 can't be done by generic methods,
so for rauc we would want to call something like barebox-update which
then handles the details. In any case, rauc is not intended for initial
installation in the factory, but for updating in the field.

Instead of MFGtools, we usually load barebox via imx-usb-loader. That
is configured to start the fastboot gadget, which we then use to write
barebox (via barebox_update) and the rootfs.
