M5Paper unique device identifier?



  • This post is deleted!


  • Hello, does the getEfuseMac return you the same value? you can try to generate a value one time and keep it inside the device for use later.



  • Actually, my bad, I ran the same code again on 3 different M5Paper and it is indeed working...

    So yes, getMACString is returning a unique id.

    `
    [global_setting.cpp:70] getMACString(): MAC = 0000CC240805613C
    [main.cpp:261] run(): getEfuseMac: 0805613C

    [global_setting.cpp:70] getMACString(): MAC = 0000CC370805613C
    [main.cpp:261] run(): getEfuseMac: 0805613C

    [global_setting.cpp:70] getMACString(): MAC = 000084170905613C
    [main.cpp:261] run(): getEfuseMac: 0905613C
    `

    Thanks



  • Here is a solution to create an unique identifier that is based on the device's MAC address (but is not easy to guess and is not the MAC address itself):

    /** Returns a hashed uint64_t */
    uint64_t getHashedInt64(uint64_t u)
    {
        uint64_t v = u * 3935559000370003845 + 2691343689449507681;
    
        v ^= v >> 21;
        v ^= v << 37;
        v ^= v >> 4;
    
        v *= 4768777513237032717;
    
        v ^= v << 20;
        v ^= v >> 41;
        v ^= v << 5;
    
        return v;
    }
    
    /** Return a device unique identifier based on device's mac address, eg. 6C4080B51A5D3659 */
    String getUniqueId()
    {
        uint64_t mac = ESP.getEfuseMac();
        uint64_t hash = getHashedInt64(mac);
        uint32_t msb = hash >> 32;
        uint32_t lsb = hash & 0xFFFFFFFF;
    
        char unique_id[20];
        sprintf(unique_id, "%08X%08X", msb, lsb);
        return String(unique_id);
    }
    

    Calling:
    getUniqueId() returns something like 6C4080B51A5D3659
