No, I don't use any pre-build SD card for the boot up... The boot is done using PreLoaded/U-Boot in ArriaV.

I know that I can set the MAC address using the U-Boot command and then store it into a Flash... Can I set any MAC address? Should not I buy it for some organization (like IEEE or ITU) or probably notify them that I'm going to use a specific MAC address? Should not I receive their approval?

The ArriaV HPS has two eMAC IPs... So can I set two different MAC addresses?

Thank you!
