Device's MAC Address

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

   

I need to include in my advertisement packet my PRoC device Mac Address so I can identify different devices with it.

   

I have found this: http://www.cypress.com/forum/proc-ble/mac-address , but didn't helped me much. I don't understand how should I use these "CYBLE_SFLASH_DIE_..." to get the Mac Address... Actually I didn't get what these macros mean.

   

Can someone help me?

       

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi,

       

I hope your application need a unique device address for each BLE device and you want to add that address in the adv packet.

   

If then, you can follow the below method:

   

-> In the BLE component, GAP settings tab -> General -> Device address -> Please make sure 'silicon generated' box is checked. This will make a unique address for each device which can have a maximum combination of 2^24 device address. This generation of address is automatically taken care inside the stack. (Refer the KBA http://www.cypress.com/knowledge-base-article/setting-bluetooth-device-address-kba211407).

   

Please let us know whether this will help.

   

Thanks,
Anjana
