Hello,

i'm using a Raspberry Pi with u-boot. I'm building a stock RPI Kernel 3.12.y with buildroot. The u-boot version is 2015.01-rc3.

U-Boot is working fine and when i call saveenv a file uboot.env is written to the first FAT Partition on the SD Card. But when i try to access the boot params with fw_readenv, i always get the BAD CRC error. I tried every possible configuration in fw_env.config, but it will not work.

if first tried the obvious configuration

/dev/mmcblk0p1 0x0000 0x4000

does not work, then i tried to calculate the offset from /dev/mmcblk0:

/dev/mmcblk0p1 0x100000 0x4000

0x100000 because startsecotor is 2048 * 512 byte = 1048576 = 0x100000 in hex

It will not work. I'm a little confused if this configuration makes sense at all, i thought, with the rpi config, fw_readenv will look for the file uboot.env in the given partition?

My partion layout is as follows

243 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders, total 15407104 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xee294a37

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdf1 * 2048 104447 51200 e W95 FAT16 (LBA) /dev/sdf2 104448 411647 153600 83 Linux /dev/sdf3 411648 718847 153600 83 Linux /dev/sdf4 718848 15407103 7344128 83 Linux
