            Bug ID: 287647
           Summary: sysutils/u-boot-rpi2
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: arm
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: uboot@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: fbsd@www.zefox.net
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(uboot@FreeBSD.org)
          Assignee: uboot@FreeBSD.org

The latest u-boot-rpi2 does not enable saving u-boot environment variables
 between sessions. In particular, adjusting the value of usb_pgood_delay is
very
helpful to reliable discovery of USB hard disks for hands-off booting.

At this point, u-boot accepts the change using editenv, applies it successfully
to detecting the USB disk and then refuses to execute saveenv:


U-Boot> editenv usb_pgood_delay
edit: 7500
U-Boot> usb reset
resetting USB...
Bus usb@7e980000: scanning bus usb@7e980000 for devices... 6 USB Device(s)
found
       scanning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found
U-Boot> saveenv
Saving Environment to FAT... Failed (1)
U-Boot> help saveenv
saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage

Usage:
saveenv


I've looked for and not found instructions for reinstating this feature, which
was available in previous (years ago) u-boot ports for Raspberry Pi by default.

This report is stimulated by 14.3-RC1 for Raspberry Pi armv7, but likely
applies
to any platform that uses FreeBSD's u-boot port.

Thanks for reading,
