Stefano,
Any further comment on this patch? Does it still require more work that we can take on?
Hi Amit,
as I know there is a newer version of the patch [V6] as the one you reported:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/78772/match=patch+v6...
There is no further comments to this patch, as I can see.
The patch must not be merged into the u-boot-imx branch, because this is common code, not specific for imx, and should be merged directly into the mainline by Wolfgang.
I let Wolfgang to answer us if he sees some more issue with the patch.
Just looking at the patch I see that it writes the env to fixed blocks on the SD/MMC card. This will work of course. BUT usually (IMHO) such cards are used with partitions/filesystems. How do you make sure the blocks don't overwrite files or don't get overwritten by files?
One can, of course, prepare the card with a small partition spanning the env blocks. But even then the code should check if the partition exists and use the block info from the partition entry...
Should the env not be saved in a file? Which is probably a bit beyond possibility to read when not yet relocated...
