[Two pieces of nanopi Neo3, using the new Armbian image, have the same MAC address.]

The NanoPi NEO3 actually has a hardware mac address (branded as Microchip), with the FriendlyElec FriendlyCore distro it uses that correctly, Armbian however still generates a fake one. What do we need to do to change that?

How did you apply the patch ?

 

I dd'd it directly to the emmc via usb after the 'nand-sata-install' completed.

 

I haven't checked but if you can ignore the shutdown/reboot at the end of the script you should be able to download @pask's patch and flash it to the emmc on the board itself

Hi Nico,  my board (v2) boots this image fine from the SD card but not from eMMC - also I can't connect via UART ( just see rubbish on screen ) so have no idea why

 

I had to apply the patch from pask on top of the emmc after using "nand-sata-install" to get it to boot, even after already applying it to the SD, I can only assume the bootloader it copies to the emmc is the unpatched variant.

 

After doing so it happily boots from emmc using nvme as root.

 

Using the minimal buster (4.4) build for the M4 with pask's patch everything seems to work as it should (wifi etc.)
