Re: [U-Boot] [RFD] store env size in env area (+ cookie + len)

Dear Reinhard Meyer,

In message 4C63B262.8070004@emk-elektronik.de you wrote:

And env in EEPROM would benefit in speed if only the used space is written/read. A 16k ENV area in I2C EEPROM can take a few seconds to save if not tuned to max. speed. If the ENV uses just a few 100 Bytes, which it normally does, it would speed up saving (and reading).

This is an improvement that can be implemented independent from other changes discussed here. Patches are welcome.

<duck> one could also save the env in XML format... </duck>

Yes, or as a SQLite data base. There are many options. Not all of them are really clever ones, though.

Best regards,
