MAC address
Hello everybody, I am evaluating the mbed LPC1768 for a new project and I have a simple question about the MAC address. Does the module have a built-in unique MAC address or have I to preview on my board a MAC address EEPROM? Thank you for your attention.

IIRC the LPC1768 board has a unique MAC address, but the unique address (at least the one used by mbed) is on the interface chip, not the LPC1768 itself.
You can get it using:
void mbed_mac_address(char *mac)
Thank you for your answer. Ok, then if I use the mbed module in a new project and I buy (let's say) 100 modules they are going to have 100 different MAC addresses already written in their interface chips, right?
