How am I supposed to set the real MAC in the environment? Build separate images for each board? I do not want that.
Not that is finally a good question, and one where answering makes sense again.
There are many ways, depending on how you organized the production and/or testing of your boards.
Of course, you can also pre-program your flashes before even fitting the chips on the boards. There are programmers that support auto- incrementing serial numbers or automatic insertion of data blocks retrieved from some sort of production database.
Yes, this is what I am looking into. Seems the most fitting in my case.
There is a zillion of methods to do what you want, you just have to pick one that fits your board and your productions and test environment best. And any of these is way better than using random MAC addresses.
Thanks a lot !
Thanks, Elison
