I have multiple boards, based on ppc405ep (which include on-chip two ethernet ports). I'm configure the MAC address in u-boot and all works
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.
