I'm seeing some strange behavior with the fw_setenv tools on OMAP.
Here's what I see when using the tools on OMAP (overo in this case):
- fw_printenv prints the environment with no issues [1]
- fw_setenv allows me to change a variable with no reported errors [2]
- fw_printenv will print the changed environment, however the
variables are not sorted [3]
I tested yesterday on a davinci board, I can confirm this behavior, I have not thought was an error. I do not see any code in fw_env.c to sort variables. I konow the variables are sorted in u-boot, but do we ever have this feature on the userland fw_printenv ?
Indeed this behaviour is normal. fw_printenv does not sort the output (not yet - patches welcome).
why bloat the code ? why cant people simply: `fw_printenv | sort` ? -mike
