Why is all android eth0 MAC address 1E:ED:19:27:1A:B3?

I have got two iMX6Q boards (sabreSD design). They have different MAC during u-boot section. When android is started they both change their MAC to 1E:ED:19:27:1A:B3 (yes. same MAC).

Can anyone help me how to fix it?

Thank you very much.

From "Android_User's_Guide.pdf" :
" ... if you want to use FEC in U-Boot, set the following environment:

U-Boot > setenv ethaddr 00:04:9f:00:ea:d3 #[setup the MAC address]

U-Boot > setenv fec_addr 00:04:9f:00:ea:d3 $[setup the MAC address]"

Next, according to section 24 (How do I change BT MAC address on i.MX 6 Sabre SD of Rev C board?)
of "Android_Frequently_Asked_Questions.pdf" :

"If you enable BT on i.MX 6 Sabre SD Rev C board and find that certain issues are caused by the fact that the same MAC

address is shared by two BT peers, you could do the following to change BT MAC address.

1. cat /system/etc/firmware/ar3k/1020200/ar3kbdaddr.pst

Check the original MAC address. The result looks like this: 1260417f0300(12:60:41:7f:03:00).

2. Mount -w -o remount /system

Change system file system as writable.

3. echo “*******” > /system/etc/firmware/ar3k/1020200/ar3kbdaddr.pst

4. It is changed."


Have a great day,
Yuri

Hi all,

I also meet such problem. "setenv ethaddr/fec_addr" seems useless. the mac addr will be still 1E:ED:19:27:1A:B3 even if you set another addr in uboot.

and i also meet another problem about ethnet, could you give me some advice more?

below is my post about the problem:
