It's imx_usb_loader, made and open-sourced by nice guys from Boundary Devices. It depends only on libusb and consists of single .c file. Clone repository, make the tool and follow to my guide of it's work.

Excellent! I am anxious to test it. I was not able to make the windows sbloader program from freescale work, and I did not finish porting the linux sbloader program from the RockBox project to the kindles, so this is great news. It will save a lot of time if it works properly (unlike the version from freescale).
We do not need all the extra "manufacturer" support built into MfgTool. We only need the small subset built into usb_downloader.
