After a conversation with Paul, I think I've figured out how to access the unique Ethernet media access (MAC) address burnt into the Teensy3. This number will be different on every teensy 3, and isn't overwritten by the bootloader flashing process like the EEPROM is.
Given this class:
You can print out the MAC like:
On mine, this prints:
I hope Paul can verify my work here. This number at least seems to line up with the PJRC IEEE registration.
Hope this is useful.
-c
Given this class:
Code:
/** Retrieve Ethernet MAC from Teensy 3 */
class mac_addr : public Printable {
public:
uint8_t m[6];
mac_addr() : m({0}) {
// Retrieve the 6 byte MAC address Paul burnt into two 32 bit words
// at the end of the "READ ONCE" area of the flash controller.
read(0xe,0);
read(0xf,3);
}
void read(uint8_t word, uint8_t loc) {
// To understand what's going on here, see
// "Kinetis Peripheral Module Quick Reference" page 85 and
// "K20 Sub-Family Reference Manual" page 548.
FTFL_FCCOB0 = 0x41; // Selects the READONCE command
FTFL_FCCOB1 = word; // read the given word of read once area
// -- this is one half of the mac addr.
FTFL_FSTAT = FTFL_FSTAT_CCIF; // Launch command sequence
while(!(FTFL_FSTAT & FTFL_FSTAT_CCIF)) {
// Wait for command completion
}
*(m+loc) = FTFL_FCCOB5; // collect only the top three bytes,
*(m+loc+1) = FTFL_FCCOB6; // in the right orientation (big endian).
*(m+loc+2) = FTFL_FCCOB7; // Skip FTFL_FCCOB4 as it's always 0.
}
virtual size_t printTo(Print & p) const {
size_t count = 0;
for(uint8_t i = 0; i < 6; ++i) {
if (i!=0) count += p.print(":");
count += p.print((*(m+i) & 0xF0) >> 4, 16);
count += p.print(*(m+i) & 0x0F, 16);
}
return count;
}
};You can print out the MAC like:
Code:
Serial.print("MAC: ");
mac_addr mac;
Serial.println(mac);On mine, this prints:
Code:
MAC: 04:E9:E5:00:0D:59I hope Paul can verify my work here. This number at least seems to line up with the PJRC IEEE registration.
