[U-Boot-Users] netconsole doesn't work if $(serverip) is assigned to ncip instead of hardcoded value

[Igor Marnat]

Hello Wolfgang,

WD> You must be doing something wrong. "ncip" and "serverip" are
WD> completely unrelated.

Sure. I just thought that it's possible to use environment variables
to assign values to all other variables. That is to say, if assignment

addip=setenv bootargs $(bootargs) ip=$(ipaddr):$(serverip):$(gatewayip):$(netmask):$(hostname):$(netdev):off panic=1

works ok (it uses $(serverip)), why can't I use

ncip=$(serverip)?

See below the full environment. The only difference between two scenarious
is that it works if ncip=10.0.0.55 and it doesn't if ncip=$(serverip).
