Gazell MAC Address

Is there a similar way tot get the radio's MAC address when using Gazell only (no BLE)?

In SoftDevice there is a "sd_ble_gap_address_get()" function call.

  • I don't really want to get and set the address for gazell. I understand how those addresses are used.

    What I actually want to do with the MAC address is use it is as a unique identifier, instead of creating my own serial number for the device. If there is already a unique random number that is generated at manufacturing of the silicon then I'd like to leverage number as a way of tracking the final product.

    So to rephrase my question. Regardless of gazell or softdevice, is the radio's random 6 byte MAC address available via registers to read from the nRF51822?
