[U-Boot] extracting u-boot version from Linux

[Parks, Derek]

Hello all,

 

Newbie to u-boot here!  I have read basic user and command manuals and
could not find a solution:

 

I have an c++ application that needs to display various versions of
system components; u-boot, kernel, O/S flavor, hardware and software
versions.  I'm struggling with getting the u-boot version and ask for
your help.  My ideal situation is to have U-boot report (somehow) to
Linux it's version number and have Linux store it in environment
variables.  Any thoughts?

 

Thanks!!
