@PaulStoffregen Any update ?

Or as an alternative, are the bootloader chips on shipped T41s capable of setting up virgin IMXRT chips?
The only problem we have is that the current format of the board does not fit well, and we would need to design an own layout with different sockets. It would be really great if you could sell the bootloader chip with some reference design separately, as we would immediately implement this and use it long-term.
MCUXpresso is the way to go.
With this and the i.MX RT 1064 EVK you get a nice platform and have the complete open field of possibilities with the MCU used in T 4.x.
Absolutely not Arduino.
And there is the i.MX RT 1170 as well, once you become a member of the circle.
The development of the Teensy boot chip seems to be blocked by the strict will to work around Apple quirks on Teensyduino, consuming large amounts of resources.
120 Euro for a huge board that I will never be able to integrate in my products as I do with Teensies.MCUXpresso is the way to go.

The problem with this is that we lose access to the awesome Teensy community and on top of that, we don't support Paul in everything he is doing to make Teensy and Arduino a better place.
I am more than happy to pay the extra costs a teensy bootloader IC brings as I know the money is used to keep PJRC running and while PJRC is running, everyone benefits.

And, I normally do not use Arduino, and then only to have a common system with others on this forum.
I don't see any valid reason why it would not be used more and more in commercial products, and I'm sure it is the case already.At the end, neither Arduino, nor any Arduino-Board are made for commercial high volume products.
And they are not intended to be that ( I think )
From the software-side it would mean to trust 3rd party hobby-written libs and other code.
No larger company can risk that.
