Gazell MAC Address

[Rick.Soza]

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.

Yes, there are several such identifiers. The BLE address used by the softdevices is based on a random number that is programmed into the chip during manufacturing. You can use this 48-bit value regardless of gazell or softdevice.

There's also a 64-bit device ID (also programmed during manufacturing) that can be used for this purpose.

Both these numbers are found in the Factory Information Configuration Register (FICR). See section 6 of the nRF51 Reference Manual. Specifically look for the DEVICEID and DEVICEADDR registers.

Thank you very much! Exactly what I was looking for.
