💅 ADDRESSING(3so) — the 1-wire address tea 💅

okay so bestie, listen up: every single 1-wire device gets a unique 64-bit address straight from the factory. it's not something you set, it's just assigned to you. no cap. 🏭✨

that address is shaped like this: 8 bits + 48 bits + 8 bits. iconic little trio, honestly. 🎀

under OWFS, addressing is all in hexadecimal. the form is something like: where family-code is an example 8-bit family code, and address is an example 48-bit address. (the actual example hex digits got eaten by the manpage formatting goblins in this copy, but you get the shape 😭💀)

the dot? optional. you can leave it out if you want. and the CRC code can be included too — but if you do include it, it must be correct, fr fr. no sloppy CRC energy allowed. 🚨

that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 the usual footer with source, version, and date would be down here but it didn't make it into this copy, so I'm not gonna invent it. mwah 💋
