Hello, when I try to set bootargs in the u-boot menu I can't do this. Always the menu is shown again. When I try to set the arguments on the u-boot console with: setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 .... then the changes will be shown by printenv. But After rebooting the changes are lost. Does anybody knows what I have to do to set the bootargs? Thanks a lot! Thomas
> setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 .... then to make the change persistent : saveeenv
I have done saveenv! But the changes aren't persistent! After reboot the changes are lost!
There is a problem with u-boot prepared for board with mlc2 chip. It has limited functionality. I got 2 board. First with slc and second with mlc2 chip Slc version works well. When I try to perform saveenv I see: Saving Environment to NAND... Erasing Nand...MINI6410 # I looked into u-boot source and that means, that erasing nand failed. Does anybody has u-boot for mlc2 with working this feature? Here is my u-boot version: ##### FriendlyARM U-Boot(2011-03, NAND) for 6410 ##### Regards, dk
Workarround: To change bootargs you can use the flashing-sdcard. The argument Linux-CommandLine is editing the nand-bootargs. Kind regards Thomas
This is not good workaround for me. I have to change MAC address because I got more then one mini6410 boards in 1 network and all have the same MAC number. Mac number is stored in environment so I have to use saveenv cmd from u-boot. dk
The solution mentioned here: http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/4486 works for mini6410. It does not matter how you boot, just pass the kernel command line parameter: ethmac=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
