Dear John Stile,

I am a total new-bee, but I have read there is a crc check in u-boot.
Actually there are several such checks, for several different purposes.
The crc check can result in a: Warning: Bad CRC, using default environment
THis is when checking if there is a valid environment. So we are talkign about the CRC which protects the persistent environment copy. The structure of this is defined in "include/environment.h", see struct environment_s - as you can see, this is a CRC32.
The crc is considered during the bootcmd.
No, this has absolutely nothing to do with bootcmd.
I would like to know where this crc is stored.
In the first 4 bytes of the external representation of the environment.
I would like to know is it 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit, or other.
32 bit.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
