So on my Cubox-i4Pro, for example, it says:
rbthomas@cube:~$ zgrep ^C.*ENV_IS_IN /usr/share/doc/u-boot-imx/configs/config.mx6cuboxi.gz
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC=y
Which confirms that the environment is stored on the mmc/SD card.
But where (at what address) on the mmc card is it stored?
Is that something I’d have to read the code for?
If so, can you point me to the relevant code file?
Thanks for your help!
Rick
