There is no way for a packet sent via radio peripheral to have MAC address, right?

First let me explain what I mean by that question, I walked through chapter 17 and was under the impression that there's an "automatic" hardware package wrapper in place to do all the packing and suppose you want to send just one byte, 0x33, all you have to do is to pass it to a radio pointer register, and the rest will be taken care of, provided that you had properly configured everything, that is.

My question is, does the automatic, hard wrapping process have anything to do with MAC addresses? I know there is this access address involved but it's a completely different story, I know you can involve addressing information in the payload itself but again, it's quite different.

So... please someone enlighten me a bit?

  • @Mitch: are you talking about Bluetooth's address and Bluetooth's packet or the actual generic radio packet over the air ? Have you looked at the ADDRESS field at 17.1.4 ?
