Identifier for SPI rack

[peendebak]

How can we be sure we are connected to a particular SPI rack? There is the get_firmware method, but I do not see any method that can generate a unique identifier (e.g. something like a MAC address)

At the moment there is no way of detecting that. The easiest way to implement this in the future is to make a unique identifier in the C2 module (as this contains the microcontroller). Although if that C2 then gets connected to a different SPI rack it would mess things up again. It might be possible to add some identifier to the C1b module, but I would have to think about that a bit and discuss it with some people.

I'm also interested in this. Could we expect the firmware for the control module to be shared? I'd be happy to implement a new command that returns some unique identifier/serial number (depending on the MCU platform)
