Test Notes:

Nand Environment saving

setenv serverip 192.168.2.93
saveenv
reset board
printenv serverip

Sdcard environment saving

Close the connector JM1:

setenv serverip 192.168.2.93
saveenv
reset board
printenv serverip

Ethernet

Once the serverip has been saved:

setenv ipaddr 192.168.2.70
ping 192.168.2.161

The output should be:

Using ethernet@2188000 device
host 192.168.2.161 is alive

Boot from NAND

saveenv

The output should be:

Saving Environment to NAND...
Erasing NAND...
Erasing at 0x1c0000 -- 100% complete.
Writing to NAND... OK

Boot from sdcard

Close the connector JM1:

saveenv

The output should be:

Saving Environment to MMC...
Writing to MMC(0)... done
