I don't think it's that useful in the general case; we know which address is used by the image in the u-boot package, and I don't see the value in developing tools to deal with forks of dubious provenance. > maybe it should be filed as a wishlist bug against uboot-envtools?

I don't have the time to work on a new tool like this, but i don't think it would be a huge project. Anyone looking to cut their teeth on this kind of stuff might consider doing this. Is there a particular RFE-tracker (or a wiki page of "missing pieces", etc) that this task could go on until someone picks it up to do it? maybe it should be filed as a wishlist bug against uboot-envtools? --dkg --dkg signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I installed that and then (assuming that fw_printenv wouldn't do any harm -- I know: "Never assume!") I tried fw_printenv and got output that got output that looks reasonable. Thanks for your help!

If you're using mainline or the Debian U-Boot, this line should work: /dev/mtd0 0x6 0x2 0x2 If you're using one of the wonky Marvell forks, it might be this: /dev/mtd0 0xa 0x2 0x2 If it's neither, you can either find the source of your U-Boot version or search through the contents of NAND to find the correct offsets. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Anybody have a fw_env.config file for Sheeva Plug et al? use with uboot-envtools package?
The uboot-envtools package does not put a /etc/fw_env.config file in place when installed. It does list a bunch of example files in /etc/share/doc/uboot-envtools/examples/ but it doesn't say which one (if any) of them are good for use with the SheevaPlug (or any of it's relatives). Can anybody give me a clue? Thanks! Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
