I see no discrepancy - ENV_IS_EMBEDDED is NOT set for ICU862
I'm sorry, i must be dense, i'm still not getting this (i do not know anything about the ICU board) ...
So, leave in the ifdef ICU862 case, but what about FADS (and other boards) which may or may not have ENV_IS_EMBEDDED set?
I don't know anything about the FADS board. I tried to use one once. Probably I will never touch one again.
shouldn't they also NOT initialize past the bss into environment.o if ENV_IS_EMBEDDED is not set, but not refer to the "environment" symbol if ENV_IS_EMBEDDED IS set?
It depends on the flash layout, i. e. where your environment is located.
#if !defined(ENV_IS_EMBEDDED) || defined(CONFIG_ICU862)
No. "!defined(ENV_IS_EMBEDDED)" might include situations where the environment is in EEPROM or so.
Sorry that this is taking so long to explain, but now i'm hopelessly confused ;/
Me too. What's wrong with the existing code? Where does it cause problems?
