cpuid for atmega2560

Hello RIOT developers,

I am new to the group, then please forgive me for the innocence.

I am doing the cpuid for atmega2560, to finish some part of https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/issues/1511.

Some cpus have unique id/or usb id, some don’t. Atmega2560 belongs to the later (please correct me if I am wrong).

Then what is your suggestion to provide the device an ID? I am thinking about write to its eeprom a 16Bytes number. Any though on this?

Thank for making this great project.

Dinh.

Hej Dinh,

in this case I would just not implement the CPUID interface for that cpu. The idea of the interface is to abstract mcu peripherals - so if a peripheral does not exist, we should not try to emulate it on this level. So let higher levels (e.g. UUID generation) worry about this…

Cheers, Hauke

Hi Hauke,

Thanks for the suggestion, makes clear declaration about the problem. Lets the upper layer generate uuid when needed.

Bests,

Dinh
