Hi,
I don't find the mac adress from the giga ethernet plug.
How can I find it ?
Tanks

How are you looking for it? One way to get it is to read the MACID1 and MACID2 registers - documented in the Data Manual. MACID1 is bit 31:0 of the MAC ID and MACID2[15:0] are bits 47:32 of the MAC ID.

I received the EVM yesterday and I try to play the test described on the TMS320C66x Evaluation Module Quick Start Guide to begin my teaching.
I need the mac adress to transfert to the services in charge of the network so they configure the DHCP to accept my module.
The first idea of my question is : Is there, as usual, a specific mac adress for each board sold ? usually, in that case, there is a label on the module with this information.
The answer you give seems to indicate that the mac adress is only readable from registers ? That means that this is part of the test that could be modified. Correct ?
Tanks for your anwer.
Jean-Michel,
You are correct in that we don't have a label on the EVMs for what the MAC address is. I'd assume there's more than one way to find out what the MAC Address is for the module (such as looking at the Boot P packet when the EVM is setup in Ethernet boot mode.) What I provided was the easiest way I know how to get it.
Maybe some of the EMAC or DHCP example code we provide reports this info. I'll ping another person that would know more about the example code provided to see if it's reported.
Best Regards,
Chad
Greetings,
Switch the Boot mode to Post and it will report its Mac address during PU on the UART port.
Good luck,
Sam
Sam, thanks for the answer, but I don't understand what you means by "Switch the Boot mode to Post". I suppose that is a SW combination but I don't find any Post mode in my documentation.
Greetings,
Please review http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMDXEVM6678L_EVM_Hardware_Setup
Set your UART interface either via the USB plug on board or via the RS232 cable provided. You will need to set the two yellow jumpers accordingly.
The UART port setup is 115200BPS, 8 Bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no Flow control.
Set SW3, SW4, SW5 and SW6 according to the info attached.
Good luck,
Sam
