title: U-Boot environment variables

description: |
  U-Boot uses environment variables to store device parameters and
  configuration. They may be used for booting process, setup or keeping end user
  info.

  Data is stored using U-Boot specific formats (variant specific header and NUL
  separated key-value pairs).

  Environment data can be stored on various storage entities, e.g.:
  1. Raw flash partition
  2. UBI volume

  This binding allows marking storage device (as containing env data) and
  specifying used format.

  Right now only flash partition case is covered but it may be extended to e.g.
  UBI volumes in the future.

  Variables can be defined as NVMEM device subnodes.
