nvmem_get_mac_address(); Hangs

Hi there,

I am attempting to port the patch programmer (the lastest one, DR P1.11.7.12.14 and FW P1.11.7.12.13) to my MCU.

The SPI layer is working as wlan_start(0); completes as per the documentation here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Serial_Port_Interface_(SPI)

nvmem_read_sp_version(); returns V1.10.

my problem is that calls to nvmem_get_mac_address(); hang.

so the patch programming does not start.

has anyone experienced this problem, or knows what could be causing this behavior?

Thanks!
