I am trying to disable the DHCP requests after the Kernel was loaded. Using freescale imx25 dev-board in standard config. In u-boot, I find two lines ip=dhcp:

MX25 U-Boot > pri
bootdelay=3
baudrate=115200
loadaddr=0x80800000
netdev=eth0
ethprime=smc911x-0
uboot=u-boot.bin
uboot_addr=0xa0000000
kernel=uImage
bootargs_base=setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200
bootargs_nfs=setenv bootargs $(bootargs) root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp nfsroot=$(serverip):$(nfsrootfs),v3,tcp
bootcmd_net=run bootargs_base bootargs_nfs; tftpboot ${loadaddr} ${kernel}; bootm
load_uboot=tftpboot ${loadaddr} ${uboot}
ethact=smc911x-0
bootargs_nand=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mtdblock2 ip=dhcp rootfstype=jffs2
bootcmd_nand=run bootargs_base bootargs_nand; nand read ${loadaddr} 0x100000 0x1d2000;bootm
bootcmd=run bootcmd_nand
serverip=192.168.0.5
ipaddr=192.168.0.100
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial

If I do:

set bootargs_nand=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mtdblock2 ip=192.168.0.100 rootfstype=jffs2

It does not work and my boot environment seems to be completely damaged.

How can I assign a fixed IP address without changing other parameters?

Your command:

set bootargs_nand=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mtdblock2
      ip=192.168.0.100 rootfstype=jffs2

will not work as it is.

It should at least be:

setenv bootargs_nand 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mtdblock2
       ip=192.168.0.100 rootfstype=jffs2'

without an = sign, and using single quotes to prevent expansion of ${bootargs} until the bootargs_nand command is actually run.

To make the IP setting more flexible, you should also specify ip=${ipaddr} within that command rather than explicitly using the actual address. The Uboot environment value will be substituted.

This answer is preliminary until these defects have been corrected.
