Hi all,
my hardware guys are on vacation but I need to clarify this:
The EDK soft cores like opb_ethernetlite need the MAC address as parameter. They do not provide a unique MAC address as default. You can imagine, what management effort would be necessary to maintain a unique MAC address for every device we deliver.
Is there any MAC address available at the Virtex-4FX12MM that
- is unique for every board
- is accessable (read-only) by the PowerPC where our code runs
Maybe the hard_temac core?
Thank you for help on this!
