lsm,
Thanks for the response. I’m not convinced it is a MAC address. Here’s what I see:
- esp_wifi_get_mac(): 240AC42CE668
- Sys.GetInfo.id: 8ce8c4697a8b99be
…I trust #1 if for no other reason that it is the correct number of bytes (6) for a MAC address. Not sure what SysGetInfo is doing under the hood?
Check out this thread from the ESP32 forum:
The esptool.py chip_id function is printing the MAC address CRC byte in the highest byte of the output, and losing the lowest byte of the MAC entirely. This is a bug, probably the chip_id function should do nothing on ESP32 (or alias to read_mac).
Might a similar bug be at work here?
In any event, since the id reported here is questionable, I think I’ll rely upon esp_wifi_get_mac() for the real MAC address / unique ID.
