Description Richard Titmuss 2007-07-06 06:40:37 UTC

u-boot can use redundant flash partitions to store the environment variables. It looks like the code is designed for working with NOR flash, and will need minor updates to work with NAND flash. As the MAC address and serial# will be store here these settings should be protected as best as possible.

Updates to both u-boot and fw-setenv will be required.

This should be done for PQP2.

Fixed in r512. Needs a new bootloader on the board.
