Hi Hannes,

Yes, its an eMMC. If I read your response correctly,
#define CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART
Can only have 2 values, 1 & 2 is that correct ?

Pls also keep in mind that from linux, it works fine, with 
fw_env.config set to
/dev/mmcblk0p4 0 0x10000

do you use MMC or eMMC ?
I guess eMMC.

I understand this #defines as following:

CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV says: use mmc-device #0
CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART says: use partition #4
i know that u-boot is using the boot-partitions to store the environment, 
an emmc only has 2 partitions.
So #4 is a an illegal paramater

CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is an absolute address within the device/partition so it 

is not "just after the MBR", instead the environment is "instead the MBR"

best regards,
Hannes
