My understanding is that the MAC address is programmed by Logic PD into the SPI flash. The Bootloader reads this from either SPI or its env variables. Looking at the partition info listed in the da850-evm.dts file, it appears as if they've reserved space for it. Unfortunately, I don't see any code that reads it out. I was hoping there might be a way to just pass cmdline parameter from the bootloader to the kernel to accept the MAC address. > >> >> If not, is there a way to pass the MAC address from U-Boot to the >> driver so it doesn't generate a random MAC? > > > "local-mac-address" dt porp The downside here, is that we'd have to have the Bootloader modify the device tree. > > -- > regards, > -grygorii thanks adam -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
