Linux/TM4C1294NCPDT: Programming MAC addresses with UniFlash command line tool

Tool/software: Linux

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of UniFlash for Linux and am able to flash firmware fine and dandy but would like to know how to program the MAC address into user flash registers through the command line as well. I currently use this command to program the application:

$sudo ./dslite.sh -f --config=tm4c1294ncpdt.ccxml -e ~/smartsense-bsp/Tiva/engineering/build/va.out

I found a similar post but it seems to be for an older version of UniFlash and the additional options for programming MACs do not work.

Thanks,

Doug Burrell

Hi Doug,

You should be able to use the --settings (or -s) option to set the MAC address value

-s [ --setting ] arg Override a specific setting by using id=value.

Can be specified multiple times.

You can find the id in Uniflash

--setting FlashMACAddrInput=00-00-00-00-00-00

The operation to program the MAC address is "ProgramMACAddress"

In you case I guess you can try something like:

$sudo ./dslite.sh -f --config=tm4c1294ncpdt.ccxml -e --setting FlashMACAddrInput=00-00-00-00-00-00 -a ProgramMACAddress ~/smartsense-bsp/Tiva/engineering/build/va.out

with -a being to do the operation after loading. -b can be used to do it before

Thanks
