Serialize eui-64 programming method

Hello guys,

I'm designing a STM32L-based board and I'll need to implement a different EUI-64 address into the EEPROM and write protect it during production.

Could someone tell me what would be the best approach to allow that?

Should it be programmed while flashing the MCU? I hardly think that'd be possible: increment the EUI64-address, recompile firmware and flash the mcu?!

Or would a UART dedicated port do the job?

Thanks for your help,

Nicolas

My general preference for such things is to have one firmware, that boots into, or can go into, a configuration mode where calibration or serialization can be done at the last test station. Customers often want a guarantee of sequential serial numbers in multiple pack orders, plus labels, packing lists, etc.

If it is a permanent number consider OTP memory, if that's available in the part, and tracking of the 96-bit ST Unique code in production logs, etc.
