Have you not discovered internet search engines?

environment variables from Linux?") into Google, you get the answer as
the first result:

I think you will have to write a program to access and decode u-boot
environment setup format in linux.
If you come across some open source app for this, plz. share with me. It
should be a standard method
but typically a small optimization if you want your main code to be
independent of the boot loader
your are using or if you have common code base which works across
multiple processors/multiple loaders.

All,
How could I access the uboot environment variables from Linux? For
example I would like to access the "serverip"
and change that to a different ip address during run time.
 
Many thanks in advance,
Bizhan
