[PATCH 4/4] saveenv: provide a zeroed/empty/ignore environment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If an external environment storage should be used in very rare and special cases,
the intentional behaviour should be to ignore the external environment and always
fall back to the built-in environment. By storing an empty "to be ignored" environment
into the external environment a confusing error message about invalid CRC sums will go
away and still the built-in environment is used.
With this new option we can force the intentional behaviour.
