Kinetis UUID Format

[HummingbirdElec]

Hi everyone,

I'm wanting to create a unique ID based on the UUID. The only problem is that it needs to be 16-bits, 128 bits is far too long.

I'm wondering what the format of the Kinetis' UUID is, so that I can pick 16 bits of it that will generally be unique (for example, something like the batch number or a date code).

Thanks

Hi,

The unique ID number must be the complete 128-bit number, we can't assume that the LSB or MSB part is going to be unique. The unique ID is programmed during manufacturing and the algorithm can't be shared it. Therefore the unique number must be 128-bit not only the MSB part (SIM_UIDH and SIM_UIDL) or LSB part (SIM_UIDMH and SIM_UIDML).

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Have a great day,
