Do nRF518 chips come with a Bluetooth Address?

[Geoffrey OMWAVE]

Hi,

I would like to know if the nRF51822 chips come with their own valid IEEE address of if we must buy an OUI and generate our own addresses for use in final products. I can't seem to find this information anywhere.

I'm not quite sure, but I'm thinking its NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[1] and [0].

can nordic confirm, I don't see it in any datasheets.

Also I'm not sure of the byte ordering.

I understand you question now. I would like an answer as well. (Are the BLE internal addresses truly unique?)

also to clarify my awnser further the byte order is as follows: packet[2] = NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[0];
packet[3] = NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[0]>>8;
packet[4] = NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[0]>>16;
packet[5] = NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[0]>>24;
packet[6] = NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[1];
packet[7] = NRF_FICR->DEVICEADDR[1]>>8;
