8.4.3 MAC Address
In a computer network such as a local area network (LAN), the MAC
(Media Access Control) address is a unique computer hardware
number. For a connection to the Internet, a table is used to convert the
assigned IP number to the hardware’s MAC address.
In order to guarantee that the MAC address is unique, all addresses are
managed in a central location. PHYTEC has acquired a pool of MAC
addresses. The MAC address of the phyFLEX-i.MX 6 is located on
the bar code sticker attached to the module. This number is a 12-digit
HEX value.

C Interface
The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
2
C) interface is a two-wire, bidirectional
serial bus that provides a simple and efficient method for data
exchange among devices. The i.MX 6 contains three identical and
independent multimaster fast-mode I
2
C modules. The interface of the
second and third module (I2C2 and I2C3) are available on the
phyFLEX-Connectors. The first module connects to the on-board
EEPROM (refer to section 6.3) and to the EMIC at U19 (see
section 15). Both I2C interfaces which are brought out on the
connector have on board resistors which are laid-out for a capacitive
load of max. 150 pF in fast mode. The following table lists the I

C
port on the phyFLEX-Connector:
