Set mac address (static from chip or random static address)

[Anonymous]

Hello,

We want use some ProC module but in few quantity, and whitout having to programm MAC adress for each device (and whitout buying a set from IEEE if possible).

Reading a MAC address from an EEPROM  chip with 48 bits embeeded EUI, and set it the first run is a good way to do it ? ( with CyBle_SetDeviceAddress())

Or can we just use a random static address ( generated at the first run / can be changed if the user want it by pressing a button for exemple), i am not sure for this one ,because nobody seems to use it...

Im afraid of some compatibility problem with phones for exemple .

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Each Cypress PSoC or PRoC chip has got an internal unique ID which you can retrieve with CyGetUniqueID() API. See "System Reference Guides from Creator help menu)

Oh, it's for products that we want to sell , so the bluetooth device address have to be unique (at least the 24 bits Organization Unique Identifier) and purchased from IEEE. If i understand correctly.

This is a question better asked to a direct cypress employee to ensure following the rules.

Still, I believe they mention that you are at least free to use their ID numbers/values for development purposes at the very least.

The bluetooth address can use the Cypress OUI with the "Silicon generated 'Company Assigned' part of device address".
