Package: u-boot-tools Version: 2016.11+dfsg1-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I upgraded my Buffalo Linkstation Live from Jessie to Stretch which required that I add "iomem=relaxed" to the bootargs_root environment variable. /etc/fw_env.config was not present so I copied /usr/share/doc/u-boot-tools/examples/linkstation_pro_live.config to /etc/fw_env.config. This allowed me to see the current environment variables with fw_printenv but any attempt to modify an environment variable with fw_setenv generated the error: MTD erase error on /dev/mtd2: Invalid argument Error: can't write fw_env to flash /etc/fw_env.config contained a single entry: /dev/mtd2 0x3F000 0x1000 0x1000 This was similar to the entry I had seen in Jessie except that there was only a single device for all 3 regions. I changed the offset to 0x00000: /dev/mtd2 0x00000 0x1000 0x1000 and I was able to successfully change bootargs_root -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-marvell Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages u-boot-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 Versions of packages u-boot-tools recommends: ii device-tree-compiler 1.4.2-1 u-boot-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
