Well just a simple question, how can I use these commands. I found the commands in the tools folder of U-Boot but they can't be compiled. So I ask if someone got experience with this.

Hi Destrukto,

Well just a simple question, how can I use these commands. I found the commands in the tools folder of U-Boot but they can't be compiled. So

Compiles ok here:

mk at lisa:~/src/git/u-boot$ make env
make -C tools/env all MTD_VERSION= || exit 1
make[1]: Entering directory /home/mk/src/git/u-boot/tools/env' make[1]: Leaving directory /home/mk/src/git/u-boot/tools/env' make[1]: Entering directory /home/mk/src/git/u-boot/tools/env' ppc_4xxFP-gcc -Wall -DUSE_HOSTCC crc32.c fw_env.c fw_env_main.c -o fw_printenv make[1]: Leaving directory /home/mk/src/git/u-boot/tools/env'

You have to use top of tree U-Boot as a compile fix was just merged recently. Also make sure to read tools/env/README.

Best regards

And of course you should read the manual and especially the FAQ. Please do that *before* posting.

Well, this was the first I've tried but it didn't work maybe you could explain me the instruction step by step so I can check out where I've made a mistake.

Thx Destrukto

Please post exactly what you did and what errors you got, and we'll try to tell you what you're doing wrong.

"didn't work" is such a vague description that help is impossible. Please see http://www.catb.org/%7eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html

And read the FAQ; the description there is pretty good, me thinks. If you don't understand it, please explain which specific part you don't understand, so we can improve it.

Best regards,
