Hi Steven,
The am335x SoC already has 4 registers which contain two unique vendor MAC addresses, so they should be used automatically instead of a random one.
As you mentioned above, I sent a series to read and use those addresses in the linux kernel. There were some problems with the series which I fixed to send a new version of the series, but I didn't send it yet. I will try to resend it tomorrow and Cc you. It would be great if you could test it.
Yep, but I don't work on weekends (Chief Home Officer's orders). Well, I should say, I don't do computer work on weekends. House work on the other hand, plenty (Again, the CHO's orders). It will have to wait till Monday.
As far as I know, barebox also works with the beaglebone white and it should set the correct MAC address as well. So if you need the same IP address in linux as in the bootloader, you could try barebox.
Maybe I'll give it a try. But if your stuff works I'll be fine with that.
Thanks! Hopefully I'll be using this board in my ktest tutorial at ELCEU in October.
