Thanks for your input. These values are default from both upstream u-boot and the Mender fork, as well as what’s recommended in Mender from scratch.
When is the env supposed to be written to that space, and how can I inspect it ? My build process involves creating a golden master with the OS, then making an image of that that is inserted in an sd card, which job is to flash the internal SSD with the image. It all works except this part.
Strangely, the golden master does manage to connect to mender, even though fw_printenv shows a similar output. Any leads on this ?
