Dear Wolfgang Denk, > Well, you can provide measures for a reset to a sane state, then.
This sounds even more complicated to me. In fact - I don't have any clue, what and howto measure and reset the environment. This system doesn't even had a reset buttom... so it is always a cold boot. >> I don't have any connection to uboot at all, as in my final system >> there is no serial interface to change it back. > > You could eventually use netconsole. Netconsole requires (afaik) a linux kernel, that is working. > If just the environment is hosed, it would be sufficient to provide > some means to perform a "manufacturer reset" and restore the > environment to a known good state.

But I just have network, nothing else. But here I am at the beginning. How to listen on a network port ( I know what to don in linux, but in uboot?) and howto make this change in uboot environment to a certain state. (this can boot a system via tftp then instead of a flash file system) Best regards Steffen _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
