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.

    Answering my own question after having questioned Nordic directly about this issue:

    The chips come with a Static Random Bluetooth Address. This address is assigned randomly during manufacturing. See this post.

    This is different from an "IEEE assigned" Public Bluetooth Address, which would be truly unique, but this kind of address is not required for Bluetooth Low Energy devices (see BLUETOOTH SPECIFICATION Version 4.1 [Vol 6] Part B, Section 1.3).
