Hi there,
Trying to burn the MAC address to some XMOS chips.
I've noticed that xburn in the new 15.x toolchain doesn't appear to have the --mac-address flag. I've managed to get it to work by downloading the old toolchain and using that.
Is there any reason for this flag being removed? Is there a recommended new option?
xburn --mac-address no longer an option in 15.x?

Yes, I think the --mac-address flag for xburn has been removed in tools 15 along with --serial-number. It was only really intended for internal use in programming mac addresses/serial numbers on development boards and was tied to a specific data structure in OTP which might change so was removed to avoid confusion I believe.
Obviously you can still program the OTP but it would be a more manual process where you define the data structure yourself. I'll try to find more data on the easiest way to do that.
