Hi Jan,

Take a look at 
openembedded-core/build_zedboard/tmp-eglibc/work/zedboard_user_peripheral.../u-boot-xlnx/v2013.../include/configs/zynq_common.h

string search for /* Default environment */

After the system boots, I had to make a minor change to the fir filter
example.  On the ZC702, I was getting a segfault as udev wasn't
finding devcfg.

/sys/devices/amba.0/ lists f8007000.ps7-dev-cfg, modifying the call to
udev_enumerate_add_match_sysname to look for this device instead of
f8007000.devcfg and the example now works.  Thanks to Jon and company
for this work!

Regards,
Ivan
