Hi all,
I just noticed yesterday that according to the schematic there is no configuration EEPROM for the NIC on the Altera Nios development kit (Cyclone edition.) Yet my board has a MAC which looks relatively random (00:07:ed:0b:06:81). 00:07:ed is a prefix assigned to Altera.
So... where is this number stored or derived from, if there is no EEPROM? I'd like my own design to be compatible with the backup image on the board, preferrably across multiple boards.
