... and a PITA to type. Please use SHORT and escriptive names.
Also keep in mind that the environment is limited in size, and that
long names just add delay when booting (especially with environment
in EEPROM).
Don't tell me I'm picking nits. I've seen cases where simply re-
entering the same (!) value for the "baudrate" variable added nearly
5 seconds (!!!) to the total boot time.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
