NanoPi R1 change MAC address on every boot

@arne_f

did you use the IPFire supplied u-boot? This version should be patched to generate a fix mac address from the SoC serial number. The serial console of u-boot is always the internal. only the kernel output can redirected with the console=…

Hi @arne_f
I managed to cp the u-boot from /usr/share/u-boot/nanopi-r1/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin. Now the boot is stuck in the starting kernel … statement.

It was like that from the very beginning when I install the IPFire core 157 on SD then boot from SD. Could this be a version issue? I tried the most earliest version I can download (core141) but still the same. I can only get around by using the FriendlyWRT uboot. Could you advise?
