You can configure the device with a random static address using this
function:
int ble_hs_id_set_rnd(const uint8_t *rnd_addr)
(http://mynewt.apache.org/latest/network/ble/ble_hs/ble_hs_id/functions/ble_hs_id_set_rnd/)
The argument that you pass to this function would be the address
that was preprogrammed into the board. I'm afraid I am not sure how to
read this preprogrammed address out of the nRF hardware.

The only way to change the device's public address (BD_ADDR) is by
hardcoding it in main. This is not a great solution, so we'll
definitely need to add support for reading the public address from flash
at startup.
