[PATCH] doc: variables: nv vars are saved automatically.

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

 



In recent barebox versions, nv variables are saved automatically upon reset or
kernel start (console message "nv variable modified, will save nv variables on
shutdown" warns about that). There is no need to explicitly call saveenv.

This change was introduced in 3fadbdae.
