uboot fw_setenv error


Hi,
I want to change one of the environmental variables.
I use fw-printenv to see all the variables.
When I want to change the serverip, I do
fw_setenv serverip a.b.c.d
fw_printenv also shows the new server ip.
But when I reboot the system, the serverip gets the default value
and printenv shows the default value.

What should I do to make the change non-volaile, so that it doesnt
gets changed after a reboot.

Thanks,
Jaya Dhanesh

You probably want to search the U-Boot mailing list first. If you don't find an answer, you will want to post to the U-Boot mailing list.

Cool help reveals saveenv

If you type help from the u-boot prompt you will see a list of all available commands. You are looking for savenv or similiar.
