5. Configure the device-tree and build the U-Boot image:
Permanent ethernet MAC address
-------------------------------
Prior flashing new U-Boot version (as part of ATF image) it is suggested to backup
- permanent ethernet MAC address as it is stored only in U-Boot env storage (SPI or eMMC).
- Some boards like EspressoBin have MAC address printed on sticker. To print current MAC
- address run:
+ permanent ethernet MAC addresses as they are stored only in U-Boot env storage (SPI or eMMC).
+ Some boards like EspressoBin have MAC addresses printed on sticker. Some boards got assigned
+ only one address other may also more than one. To print current MAC addresses run:
# echo $ethaddr
+ # echo $eth1addr
+ # echo $eth2addr
+ # echo $eth3addr
+ # ...
MAC addresses 00:51:82:11:22:00, 00:51:82:11:22:01, 00:51:82:11:22:02, 00:51:82:11:22:03
and F0:AD:4E:03:64:7F are default hardcoded values found in Marvell's and Armbian U-Boot
suggested to generate new random one.
After flashing new U-Boot version it is suggested to reset U-Boot env variables to default
- and then set correct permanent ethernet MAC address.
+ and then set correct permanent ethernet MAC addresses.
# env default -a
# setenv ethaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
+ # setenv eth1addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
+ # setenv eth2addr YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
+ # setenv eth3addr ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ
+ # ...
# saveenv
- Where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is permanent ethernet MAC address.
+ Where value for ethaddr is required permanent ethernet MAC address and values for ethNaddr
+ are optional per-port MAC addresses. When optional ethNaddr variables are not defined then
+ they are inherited from required ethaddr variable. eth1addr contains MAC address for the
+ wan port, other for particular lan ports.
Recent Linux kernel versions use correct permanent ethernet MAC address from U-Boot env as
U-Boot will inject it into kernel's device-tree.
