+libubootenv - Library to access U-Boot environment
+==================================================
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sbabic/libubootenv.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sbabic/libubootenv)
+
+libubootenv is a library that provides a hardware independent way to access
+to U-Boot environment. U-Boot has its default environment compiled board-dependently
+and this means that tools to access the environment are also board specific, too.
+
+Source Code: https://github.com/sbabic/libubootenv
+
+Documentation (doxygen): https://sbabic.github.io/libubootenv
+
+Replacement old tools
+---------------------
+
+Part of the library are the replacement of the "fw_printenv / fw_setenv" tools that
+can be used with any board - they accept as parameter a file as initial environment if none is found
+on the persistent storage. The syntax for the file and for the data configuration file
+is the same as the one described in the U-Boot project.
