U-boot (plus MAC address)¶

SOS : do not use u-boot from Yocto
Use u-boot provided by Rockchip SDK

1. copy board.c to /arch/arm/mach-rockchip

2. file: configs/rk3568_defconfig
   CONFIG_BOOTDELAY=5

Note: Read Docs: /home/SDK_4_19/docs

use these commands to build uboot:

./build.sh device/rockchip/rk356x/BoardConfig-evb2-lp4x-v10.mk rk3566-evb2-lp4x-v10.mk
./build.sh uboot

With this uboot MAC address can be written to flash. The uboot read MAC address and provides it to Linux.

example how to write MAC with PHP script (this script runs on device):

mmcblk0 is u-boot partiotion
Mac address info is located after 7170 bytes (or in HEX at address 0x1C02)

$mac = $_POST['mac'];
$mac_Arr = explode(":", $mac);
	
if (count($mac_Arr) != 6) {
	echo "MAC address ERROR";
	exit();
}
	

chdir("/data/firmware/htdocs");
$output = shell_exec('dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 skip=7170 of=mac.img bs=512 count=1');
	
$filesize = filesize('mac.img');
$fp = fopen('mac.img', 'rb');
$binary = fread($fp, $filesize);
fclose($fp);
		
$binary[0] = chr(hexdec($mac_Arr[0]));
$binary[1] = chr(hexdec($mac_Arr[1]));
$binary[2] = chr(hexdec($mac_Arr[2]));
$binary[3] = chr(hexdec($mac_Arr[3]));
$binary[4] = chr(hexdec($mac_Arr[4]));
$binary[5] = chr(hexdec($mac_Arr[5]));
	
$fp = fopen('mac_new.img', 'wb');
fwrite($fp, $binary);
fclose($fp);
		
$output = shell_exec('dd if=mac_new.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=7170 bs=512 count=1');
