u-boot下mac地址的配置

U-boot源码中的文档doc/README.enetaddr对mac地址的存储有详细的介绍。通常有三种情况：

MAC地址存储在EEPROM中

U-boot下可以用mac命令用来查看，EEPROM的MAC地址在U-boot启动时会被写入到环境变量。

=> help mac
mac - display and program the system ID and MAC addresses in EEPROM

Usage:
mac [read|save|id|num|errata|date|ports|port_number]
mac read
    - read EEPROM content into memory data structure
mac save
    - save memory data structure to the EEPROM
mac id
    - program system id per hard coded value
mac num string
    - program system serial number to value string
mac errata string
    - program errata data to value string
mac date YYMMDDhhmmss
    - program date to string value YYMMDDhhmmss
mac ports N
    - program the number of network ports to integer N
mac X string
    - program MAC addr for port X [X=0,1..] to colon separated string
=>

例如

=> mac
ID: NXID v1

MAC地址存储在环境变量中

如果环境变量中配置了与EEPROM不同的mac地址，则使用环境变量中的MAC地址。例如，

=> pri
...
eth1addr=00:04:9f:06:de:bd
eth2addr=00:04:9f:06:de:be
eth3addr=00:00:00:00:00:04
eth4addr=00:04:9f:06:de:bf
ethaddr=00:04:9f:06:de:ba
...

随机MAC地址

如果既没有在EEPROM中，也没有在环境变量中配置MAC地址，并且CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR是使能状态。U-boot在启动时随机生成MAC地址，供启动后使用，每次启动生成的MAC地址都是随机的。但是不会被写入环境变量，不能传递给linux kernel使用。
