How to find the mac address of my nrf 52 DK

[Ravin]

I want to find the mac address of the nRF52 DK and assign the instance ID of the eddystone format.

I am using the eddystone sample app from the SDK 152 and softdevice 6.1.1. Is there any way to hardcode the mac ID as instance ID?

Use the nRF utilities on Android or a Windows PC.

I think you can also see it on Linux ?

But iOS does not let you see it.

Can you help me with hardcoding the instance Id with the mac id? Is there any system call that will give us the mac Id?

Hi,

You can use the sd_ble_gap_addr_get() function to get the address. Note that the Softdevice need to be enabled before using this API.

Please guide me on where can i use this statement.

Can i use it in the define statement of the instance id?
