You should post U-Boot related questions to the U-Boot-Users mailing
list. They are off topic here.
great. The problem appears when I use two or more boards in one network,
because the MAC addresses are the same. Now I'm making a own u-boots for
each board, but this solution is not very comfortable.
Maybe you should start reading the manual and get a clue about the use
of environment variables in U-Boot.
My question is, which is the standard way to resolve such problem? I
would have only one generic u-boot. Is this possible?
Of  course  it  is.  Just  use  different  settings  of  the  ethaddr
environment variables.
