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

HI

 

I just bought 2 neo3 and started with Armbian and the MAC address is the same.

But using the official image is a different MAC address.How can I use Armbian so that neo3 has the correct unique MAC address?

I use cmd

   xxd / sys / bus / nvmem / devices / rockchip-efuse0 / nvmem

 I get the same value.

Try setting a random MAC via armbianEnv.txt in /boot

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?

Hi.

I hope I'm not saying too much stupidity but it seems to me that we have to turn to the Device-Tree.
When we start a Neo3 version everything happens as if we had an R2S.
I found a source code that is for the Neo3 but I don't know how to do that.

Because this thread is so dated, I created a new posting with more details. Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS does not have the same problem.
