How to update GbE TSN Controller MAC Address (Alder Lake N) on Linux environment?

I know can update from UEFI Shell. But I need update from Ubuntu.

Also, send FPT.efi for Alder Lake N to me, please

Hello @Kokei,

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

For Alder Lake N, I understand that it comes with the i225.

You may check the following documents in RDC:

Sorry Diego,

After download 615722-I225-I226-LAN-Tools-WW40-22, run 615722-I225-I226-LAN-Tools-WW40-22\EEupdate_5.38.10.0\linux64e

Still not working.

It's not support my system. Please help

Hello @Kokei,

Thank you very much for the update, I could verify with the information provided and it seems that the only way is to use the UEFI tool to program the MAC address for the GbE controller, while the Linux tool is not available.

These are the correct documents that you need for this:

#685420 - GbE TSN Controller: MAC Address Update Tool

#685421 - GbE TSN Controller: MAC Address Update Tool - User Guide

Best regards,

We strongly hope Intel can develop a Linux tool for programming MAC address on GbE TSN Controller.

It's can help us to implement programming MAC address automatically by bash script.

Hello @Kokei,

Yes, regarding Ethernet products it may be best to have more options, but right now this is what we have available.

Best regards,

I have download 615722-I225-I226-LAN-Tools-WW40-22 package

Then use 615722-I225-I226-LAN-Tools-WW40-22\Lanconf_1.38.10.0\linux64e\lanconf64e program

And use MACADDR xxxxxxxxxxxx to write macaddr to EEPROM.

It's show Update EEPROM checksum

Reboot system then check, macaddr is not change.

Would you please commit how many times we can write macaddr to EEPROM?

Or wrong update procedure?
