AM3505 MAC

Hi

I'm reading the MAC address stored in CONTROL_FUSE_EMAC_LSB & CONTROL_FUSE_EMAC_MSB. The value I read is: 7c:8e:e4:xx:xx:xx. Is this a TI address? Is the address always unique?

I've read the same MSB value from several CPU's.

 

Regards

  • The MAC address programmed into the AM35x device, via e-fuse, during final test will be a unique value for each device.

     

    A block of MAC addresses have been set aside for this device.  The next available MAC address is incremented after the previous value is programmed into a tested device.  Therefore, consecutive good devices would have incrementing MAC address.

  • Since this MAC address is unique and belongs to TI, if we are using AM35x for mass production, can I use this address as the MAC address of our product?   If I cannot use it, where should I save the MAC address to make it persistent?
