[U-Boot] at91sam9g20 MAC address in EEPROM?

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?

Thanks, Jim
