Persistent Memory

A persistent memory space is allocated to store product specific information. The persistent memory is organized as follows:

Table 1. Persistent Memory
Data Data Type Size
Structure Revision uint 16 2 bytes
MAC address uint 64 8 bytes
Board information – PCBA Name ASCII string(1) 30 bytes
Board information – PCBA Serial number ASCII string(1) 10 bytes
Board information – PCBA Atmel Part Number ASCII string(1) 8 bytes
Board information – PCBA Revision uint 8 1 byte
Reserved   3 bytes
XTAL Calibration Value uint 8 1 byte
Reserved   7 bytes
Reserved   4 bytes
CRC uint 16 2 bytes
Note:
  1. '\0' terminated ASCII string.

The MAC address stored inside the MCU is a uniquely assigned ID for each kit and is owned by Atmel. User applications can use this unique MAC ID to address the kit.
