Some questions for MAC address of nRF7002 companion IC

[Jeffery]

Hi

1. 

A. nRF7002 DK(NRF5340+NRF7002)

B. Our PCBA(NRF5340+NRF7002)

We found same application code flash to both. Sample A can work. Sample B can't work and stuck

at error initially. The log shows empty MAC address. So, for new NRF7002, the job to program

MAC address to OTP belongs to manufacturer side? Or, Nordic can fill the MAC address at OTP before shipping?

2.

About the MAC address of nRF7002, is it necessary to apply in Wifi alliance in advance?

We cannot find these kind of information as similar as MAC address in BLE SIG. Something as public or private address.

Which application did you flash to both boards A and B?
There is documentation regarding OTP programming and ficr programming.

About the MAC address of nRF7002, is it necessary to apply in Wifi alliance in advance?

Can you rephrase your question? What do you want to apply for?

Best regards,
