eHaJo created a pcb with the new Wiznet W5500 chip (machine translation), SPI to Ethernet, and with the brand new atmel ATXMEGA8E5 chip on the pcb for the unique mac-address.
how much are they? do you have source code for microchip processors?
I cannot find anywhere in the ATXMEGA8E5 datasheet (or the W5500, or similar products) how a “unique mac-address” is set.
On the following picture one can see the Wiznet prefix (0008DC) :

The page contains the following:
“Wenn dieser Lötjumper gesetzt ist, wird die Unique-MAC-Adresse des Wiznet Chip vom Atxmega eingestellt” (the address is moved from the Atxmega to the Wiznet Chip ?)
Could it be that the address is pre-programmed by eHaJo in the XMega EEEPROM ? Then why the Wiznet prefix ?
Hi,
seems like Wiznet is shipping on request for every chip they sell a MAC, wich saves you to buy a own mac adress pool. On mine he has labeld the address on the back and thee is a preprogrammed firmware on the xmega that sets it. Firmware is programmed befor the device ships, the mac is in the eeprom.
@Gary Urista price is currenly 17,5Euros inc. VAT.
Yes, the MAC address is pre-programmed on the Xmega here at ehajo.
Wiznet gave me a MAC-Pool for this PCBs, so i use Wiznet-prefix for them.
Every pcb has a label with an unique mac on it.
