Neat! Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately my "board_type" does not fit inside an
unsigned long.
For others on the ML, an example of using i2c eeprom with gd->board_type can be
found in
board/cm5200/cm5200.c:checkboard()
Timur: Thanks for responding, I think I found a workaround for this.
I find that if I pre-create the environment variable in the board header file
e.g. #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS "partnum=uninitialized_partnumber\0"
Then, setenv("partnum", "12-34-5678") called from board_early_init_r
("12-34-5678" obtained from i2c-eeprom) works.
Looking at _do_setenv in common/cmd_nvedit.c I think there may be something I'm
violating by having it create/append
a new environment variable that does not exist before. (I know not overflowing:
Environment size: 862/8188 bytes)
Not sure what the cause is at the moment.
Thanks for your time,
