I saw a post from awhile back asking if the MAC address as used on the MSP432E launch pad dev board are globally unique.
The responses were not clear and I still have questions.
I see in a lot of network based examples for the MSP432E and the xxx.syscfg file has the EMAC selected and the property shows "MAC Address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
Yet the example works when connected to my network and it gets an IP address from my DHCP server but when I look at the mac address associated with that IP address I see another (more familiar) mac address like 70:FF:76:1C:CB:5A for example.
So where did this MAC come from?
I am assuming this may be a hard coded (and maybe globally unique) and the value in the syscfg can be used to over ride the hardware setting?
So please answer:
1. are the MAC's on the launchpad allocated from TI's MAC pool?
2. are they globally unique?
3. what does the setting in the syscfg file do?
