AM2434: MAC address on AM2434 chip from TI

Part Number: AM2434

Tool/software:

Hello,

We are currently developing a product utilizing the AM243x-LP, which, according to the datasheet, contains MAC addresses provided by Texas Instruments (TI) stored in the EEPROM Board ID. As we plan to transition to the AM2434ALX chip, which has an empty EEPROM, we would like to clarify the following: Will the AM2434ALX chip still have a MAC address for communication over Ethernet/IP stored in eFuses, as provided by TI? Or will it be necessary for us to purchase a bundle of MAC addresses and subsequently flash them into device during the manufacturing process?

Your guidance on this matter would be appreciated.
