=========Board Identification =======

To differentiate each C2 board, you can use 16-digit S/N or MAC that are written on C2 manufacturing line.



===== Ubuntu =====
Your kernel version should be 3.14.29-35 or higher to get the full 16 digit of unique ID.

==== Board Identification using usid ====
Using the following node, you can get the 16-digit board ID.

<code>
cat /sys/class/efuse/usid
</code>

<code>
odroid@odroid64:~$ cat /sys/class/efuse/usid
HKC2123456789ABC
</code>

== Simple test example ==

<code>
$ gcc -o get_usid get_usid.c
</code>

<code>
odroid@odroid64:~$ ./get_usid 
S/N is 'HKC2123456789ABC'
</code>

<file c get_usid.c>

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

#define SYSFS_CLASS_USID        "/sys/class/efuse/usid"
#define USID_LEN        16

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int fd, len;
        char buf[USID_LEN];

        fd = open(SYSFS_CLASS_USID, O_RDONLY);
        if (fd < 0)
                printf("Open error! \n");

        read(fd, buf, USID_LEN);

        printf("S/N is '%s'\n", buf);

        close(fd);

        return 0;
}

</file>

==== Board Identification using MAC ====
Or the unique MAC can be used to define your board.

<code>
odroid@odroid64:~$ ip add | grep link/ether
    link/ether 00:12:34:56:78:9A brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
</code>

==== S/N and MAC information on booting console ====
If you need to confirm if the value that you read is right one, check booting log message on console.

===== Android =====

==== Board Identification using usid ====
On Android platform, you can use Property to get board ID with 'ro.serialno' or 'ro.boot.serialno'.

<code>
shell@odroidc2:/ $ getprop ro.serialno                                         
HKC2123456789ABC
</code>

<code>
shell@odroidc2:/ $ getprop ro.boot.serialno                                    
HKC2123456789ABC
</code>

The native property_get method from a java app using jni can be a general and easy way.

<file example>
#include <cutils/perperties.h>

void get_serialno(void) {
    char serialno[16];
    
    perperty_get("ro.serialno", serialno, "");
    // or
    perperty_get("ro.bootserialno", serialno, "");
    .....
}
</file>
