https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/20310/public-static-ble-addressHi, We bought a mac bd addr pool from IEEE Where is the best way to store this mac adress during production ? We guess the type will be: BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC Do you have example for the init with public adress ? Is there any drawback of usingen-USTelligent Community 13Thu, 09 Mar 2017 07:49:43 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/79125?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 09 Mar 2017 07:49:43 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:0d3dfdd4-c854-4778-8744-5592f276d845endnode<p>Hi energy,</p> <p>You can store the address anywhere in the flash or in UICR region (there are CUSTOMER[xx] bytes available). However you will need to set the address manually through <code>sd_ble_gap_adddress_set</code> call (if you use Nordic Soft Device) e.g. like this:</p> <pre><code>// Local variables uint32_t err_code; ble_gap_addr_t ble_gap_addr; // ... ble_gap_addr.addr_type = BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC; memcpy((uint8_t *)ble_gap_addr.addr, (uint8_t *)(NRF_UICR + 0x0080), BLE_GAP_ADDR_LEN); err_code = sd_ble_gap_address_set(BLE_GAP_ADDR_CYCLE_MODE_NONE, &amp;ble_gap_addr); APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code); </code></pre> <p>I don&#39;t see any problem in using Public static address except privacy concerns.
