No need to edit the code. RedBoot can be configured to use either an
EEPROM or flash to hold the mac address. Add this to the redboot .ecm
file you import with ecosconfig:
cdl_option CYGSEM_DEVS_ETH_ARM_IXDP425_EEPROM {
user_value 0
}
This will configure RedBoot to use the flash rather than an EEPROM.
