I do not thnk so, because it will be a duplication of documentation

Maybe I should point out in which document this stuff is covered.
Freescale can move the link (I find a link for each processor on the
Freescale's website). Something like "can be found in the "High
Assurance Boot Version Application Priogramming Interface Reference
Manual" as part of the Freescale Code Signing Tool, available on the
manufacturer's website ?"
