Hello everyone,

I am working on a product based on Atmel's sam9g20.  Atmel's flashing procedure stores the MAC address as a u-boot environment variable (ethaddr).

We are not comfortable with storing the MAC address this way, and would rather keep it in EEPROM.  Does anyone have experience with this?

Not on that chip, but we do it for Freescale PowerPC SOCs. Take a look at board/freescale/common/sys_eeprom.c
