Hello, all! Detlev, thank for oyur reply. So I don't need environment file parser any more.
But now I have new question - how can I display a Bitmap picture on the board's LCD? I know there is the "bmp" command, but how should I configure and build U-Boot to have this command in prompt? My board is OMAP3EVM.
Thank you.

Hi Tuma,
Hello All!
Hiya.
I develop some "upgrade" tool based on the U-Boot booted from SD card. I want to boot from SD card, and execute some simple script which is stored in bootcmd environment variable: "echo Hello! ; mmcinit ; sleep 10 ; reset; " etc... So I need to generate some environment file.
Sorry, but I do not understand why you need to generate an environment image if you only eant to run some scripts. Can we please step back again and talk about what you want to achieve? Pretty likely there is a different and cleaner solution to your problem.
I find source from tools/env very useful (I try to get variables from correct file I already have), but I can't find any description of environment file (or flash partition) at all (which I need to write tool for generating environment file). Can someone explain me the structure of the file, please. Something like: 0-4 - CRC
Well the problem is that environment can be in a different format, depending on configuration options. If for example you enable redundand environments, you will have another byte after the crc signalling which of the two copies is the active one.
5-... - (Environment)\0(Environment)\0... ... Environment End Mark... and so on.
Or tell me in what file should I see from U-Boot source.
A good start would be to read /include/environment.h - but only after you are really sure that you want to generate an environment after all
:) :
And is there any difference between content of OneNAND flash environment-partition and file on SD card?
I can parse the sentence syntactically, but I have no clue what you are asking here...
Cheers Detlev
