But it's not exactly unique. It can be set in MFdeploy.exe, and is zeroed out if you reset the device by shorting 3.3v with the reset pin.The ND+ has a great stealth feature: The MAC is like a unique board identifier, and I can read it in code....

Agreed, but you're going to need someone techhy to know that - My ideas were, for example using the ID for recording units in case of a need of a re-call of any sort. Also, in terms of commerical licensing/piracy prevention - we've had an issue with PLC's all the time where people try to copy the program, and upload it onto their own PLCs rather than using our hardware

Hi samjones,
The STM32F405 chip on every Netduino Go has a unique 96-bit unique ID burned into it by ST.
It's at memory location 0x1FFF7A10.
Perhaps we could create a class/method which exposes this? Or expose it via one of the built-in NETMF classes?

This might be another reason for me to consider the GO as our platform over the plus. I was looking for this kind of identifying feature on the Plus. We hopefully will have hundreds of these boxes running. This would help an individual who owns more than one to keep their data separate as well as gives us an identifier when their data is uploaded via a web service for our data archive.
Would be a great idea in my opinion to expose this.

I think that being able to uniquely identify any Netduino chip would be a common need for a few people - how about a generic static property across all Chips?
Yes!

On the plus I use the enet MAC... works great!

Please make it easy to see via NETMF, and make it portable across netduino +, GO, etc.
This would rock!
