Hello. We will have a production item using the LPC1768 microcontroller that will require a unique MAC address. What is typically done as far as programming these chips on a production line?
Further, if I set aside a place in memory for the MAC address, and/or avoid this spot in memory, is there a way to increment this each time the device is flashed? Are there tools available for this?
Thanks!
Bryan
FlashMagic is a good tool.
The normal tool is not for production use. But you can buy library functionality to create your own programmer. Then it's easy to increment serial numbers, add CRC-32 or similar when downloading.
This looks like a good option if we can pair it with a physical production programmer. Thanks!
An additional question; would this software work with the Samtec FTSH-110-01 connector/interface? This is the Cortex Debug+ETM Connector (20-pins, 0.05") shown on this page:

The page mentions the ETM pins can be using in serial mode; would this referring to the serial programming? Thanks again,
