Hi Waldemar,

fw_printenv and fw_setenv can act on an ordinary file instead of a
device if you want; their config file is normally /etc/fw_env.config .
So for example, first you could create an empty 16K file uboot.env:

dd if=/dev/zero of=uboot.env bs=1K count=16

then you could configure fw_printenv and fw_setenv to act upon that
file by putting the following line in /etc/fw_env.config:

uboot.env 0x0000 0x4000 0x4000

I hope that helps,
B.R.
