U-Boot has such an interface builtin. It is the "setenv" command.  It
is  trivial  to write script (for example using "expect") to automate
such command sequences.

And I already mentioned several other potential solutions for such  a
task.

Did you look up what the "setenv" and "askenv" are doing?  Especially
"askenv"??

Best regards,
