[U-Boot] Getting started with uboot

[Thomas Heller]

Where does uboot store the environment variables?

I have my tx25 board booting correctly from uboot when
entering interactive commands:

But when I call 'saveenv' then it doesn't boot any longer;
it seems that 'saveenv' overwrites parts of the root file system.

So, my question is: where does uboot save the environment?
