how to keep MAC address after upgrading to 9 ? - AlexS - 06-24-2019
Dear friends,
After flashing eMMC with new android/tv image i noticed the MAC address changes every time. How can i keep it unchanged or set to the old value after flashing new image?
This is necessary to keep some payed applications working.

Do anyone understand what and where is written to set the MAC address in the procedure described in
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Set_MacAddress_on_ROCK64 ?
How can i do this with linux machine with adb/rkdeveloptool/rkflashtool/etc...?

I don't really have a clue as I don't own your hardware. But If it is using uboot to load Android, perhaps it is the same answer found in this post:

Look for /boot/uEnv.txt in the filesystem.
If it contains that file, open it and add 'mac_addr=00:06:dc:8b:75:26' to the end of the line that has 'console' in it. Obviously change the mac address to the value that you desire. And the single quotes were only added for clarity of this message, you would not add them in uEnv.txt file.
HTH

Thanks for your suggestion, but i do not see /boot on the device. Even with 'find / -name boot'
