A program or shell script in U-Boot? No program needed, as the
"setenv" command is a builtin. Youc an put calls to the "setenv" or
"askenv" in a text file (= shell script), use the mkimage tool (-T
script) to make script image from it,. load it and run it using the
"autoscr" command.
Under Linux, you can use the fw_setenv tool provided in tools/env/
Note that ithe MAC address is normally write protected, i. e. it
cannot be changed once set. This is *intentional*.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
