board_n6000.c:372:print_mac_info() **ERROR** : Invalid MAC address

mac info is not supported

Resolution

To work around this problem, you can program flash with the MAC address by following these steps:

Ex. MAC address = 12:34:56:78:90:ab, 8 consecutive addresses:

$ echo "78563412ab9008ff" | xxd -r -p > MAC_Address.bin

$ flash_tools/flash.sh fpgaAC erase -o 0x07FF2000 -s 4096

$ flash_tools/flash.sh fpgaAC write -o 0x07FF2000 -s 4096 ./MAC_Address.bin
