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.

The next point release of the XTC tools (XTC 15.3.x) will re-instate this feature and provide a mechanism to supply the MAC address.
The release is planned for 2024 Q3.
