    I think that in NEEK the mac address is stored in a I2C eprom, which also contains display calibration data (this is what manual says).

    Probably this eprom has been corrupted by some previous code running on the dev kit. You need to restore it with a dedicated application. Search if you have such an application in the dev kit. If not you have to build one yourself.

    I don't have the NEEK so I can't help you more than this.
