Hi, 

 

OK, so it looks like MFDeploy.exe can nuke anything on the board. Is there indeed no perennial/permanent id? If so, how to get at it? If not, what is the suggested approach to be able to uniquely identify a board when connecting to a network? Is setting and tracking the MAC of the on-board ethernet ourselves the only way? How to I retrieve the current MAC via NETMF?

            // Stores information that is unique to each individual hardware system (device) -- meaning device type or device instance I hope. Are all 3 required, or just the SKU?

            //From the NETMF 4.3 emulator: 

            var sysOEM = Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SystemInfo.SystemID.OEM; // => 1 

            var sysModel = Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SystemInfo.SystemID.Model; // => 2

            var sysSKU = Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SystemInfo.SystemID.SKU; // => 3

 Dim NetInfo As NetworkInterface = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()(0) Dim IPaddress As String = NetInfo.IPAddress Dim DnsAddresses() As String = NetInfo.DnsAddresses Dim GatewayAddress As String = NetInfo.GatewayAddress Dim PhysicalAddress As Byte() = NetInfo.PhysicalAddress <-- MAC Dim IsDhcpEnabled As Boolean = NetInfo.IsDhcpEnabled
