Look inside the following dir and its sub dirs, you'll see all the default(hard coded) variables inside it: /source-path/barebox-yyyy.mm.d/defaultenv/ Simply make a text file inside a sub dir.The file name would be your variable name and the string inside the file would be the value for that particular variable.

I already have a barebox.efi running on the system; my problem is now how to permanently save some variables so that, on restart, they can be automatically restored by my '/env/bin/init' script. The variables I mean are for example 'eth0.ipaddr' or 'eth0.serveraddr'. A solution I used in the past was a custom 'env_dump' command that generated a config text file like: eth0.ipaddr=10.0.0.15 eth0.serveraddr=10.0.0.1 ... Then I saved the file with 'saveenv' and restored it back with 'loadenv'. Is there a better way to solve this problem ? I don't like very much having to write 'custom commands' myself. I had a look at the state framework but it seems kinda overkill for what I need. giorgio _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
