Arduino atmega328p unique id/serial number
//found this code here
//https://gist.github.com/speters/f889faec42b510052a6ab4be437d38ca
//Purpose is to simply run a memory check on ATMEGA238P to test for counterfeit parts
#include <avr/boot.h>
#define SIGRD 5
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("");
Serial.println("boot sig dump");
int newLineIndex = 0;
for (uint8_t i = 0; i <= 0x1F; i += 1) {
Serial.print(boot_signature_byte_get(i), HEX);
Serial.print("\t");
newLineIndex++;
if (newLineIndex == 8) {
Serial.println("");
newLineIndex = 0;
}
}
Serial.println();
}
void loop() {
}

The fake atmega328p-AU chips will not enter High Voltage Parallel Programming mode. The chip just gets very hot.

I have also noticed chips marked as made in Korea (on reverse side) are often (maybe always) fake.
