LPC2388 MAC address

[mohammadfaizan]

Hi,

I am working on a project, which has a one module of TCPIP  communication. But before I had used a PIC32 microchip controller which is shipped with a in-build mac address, what in case of LPC2388  and LPC1788, does it have a in-build mac address  or I need to assign,  how I can assign the unique mac address.

thanks & regards

Hello Mohammed

The MAC-address can be entered via the 'Station Addresses'.
See User Manual UM10211. Search on 'Station Address'.

See: http://www.lpcware.com/content/nxpfile/lpc23xx-user-manual

But (...) NXP does not supply MAC addresses for its products. The only way, I see, is to buy them from the IEEE:
 
http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml
https://standards.ieee.org/regauth-bin/application?rt=OUI
 
You buy a block of 16 million addresses, and that currently costs you (?)  $1825.

There is an Application Note handeling about connecting the LPC2000 with ethernet, see:
