DESCRIPTION: Vital Product Data are information stored in the System EEPROM which are required for proper operation of
the board. With this command the VPD entities can be displayed or imported to the U-Boot environment in
RAM.
Among the VPD entities are, for example, the board serial number and the board’s Ethernet MAC addresses.
If the option “import” is invoked, existing VPD entities in the environment in RAM are overwritten. If a
“saveenv” is then invoked, the previously stored values in the currently selected SPI boot flash environ-
ment area are overwritten.
USAGE: 1. Display all VPD entities:
=> vpd print

2. Display eth1addr entity
=> vpd print eth1addr
eth1addr=00:80:82:47:12:02

3. Import eth1addr entity to environment
=> vpd import eth1addr
import eth1addr = 00:80:82:47:12:02 to … environment
=>
4. Import all VPD entities to environment
=> vpd import all_params
entity as follows:>
import = to environment
