Re: [U-Boot] environment access before relocation does not work on (some) arm

Dear Matthias Fuchs,

This is normal, and documented. Before relocation, you must not use getenv().

Yes, I am aware of this. I even think that the getenv() implementation falls back to getenv_f() before relocation.

This is not guaranteed to work.

Yes, I did not care about where my env comes from :-) So env_sf.c does not support an early env at all. Running on an i.MX28 with env in a SPI flash I probably need SPI support in my SPL and an improved env_sf.c.

This is a bigger topic. We all wait anxiously for Mareks group to implement a clean device driver model, so we can clean up and unify all this code. I am aware that it needs it.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
