Hi Mike,
Currently we keep the MAC as u-boot variable 'ethaddr' and pass it to
Linux
using the boot comand line.
right, generally all boards use the 'ethaddr' env var. the question is how
does that get initialized ? many boards have dedicated storage so that
even
if the env gets erased, the value can be recovered from elsewhere. i guess
this board doesn't have that redundancy ?
Indeed, PR1 & BR4 Appliance don't keep MAC in a dedicated storage.
It is probably not a bad idea but at the moment we just use the u-boot
environment to store our parameters.
The 'ethaddr' variable is assigned manually by the person who test the
boards
Best Regards
Dimitar
