Hi Josef,

thank you very much for the investigation. This definitely helps.

- Yes, the patches add changes, then remove them again, then add a few lines and remove again. It seems to have grown over time and not really cleaned up.
- We create our own env by modifying the u-boot’s `CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS` in `include/configs/iot-gate-imx8.h`, so the default env is not needed anyway. So if I get this correctly, the env variables are present, but are just not installed.  
I can try to add a compile task similar to the one from Atmel and I might make progress. I will try that.

I will write Compulab with the information you provided.  
Thank you again.

Best Regards,  
Dominik
