Subject: Deleting read-only environment variable on Sibyte board.

I've got a read-only environment variable on my Sibyte/Broadcom Bigsur system. Annoyingly it's the network address. Any help on how to delete such an undeletable environment variable would be welcome.

Thanks,

Ralf

Hi Ralf,

Can you try 'Unsetenv [NAME]'?

Hi Ralf,

Can you try 'Unsetenv [NAME]'?

I'm getting an error message, something about the variable being read-only.

Thanks anyway,

Ralf

It looks like the variable was set with 'setenv -ro' command. This will need a manual delete.
Bad news - This would probably require a new firmware build. There is no current command to remove -ro variables (non-existing feature).
