Hi there,

   

 

   

is there a way to generate random numbers by facilities on the ARM9? I don't want to use the libc rand()/srand() but would rather resort to the processors native RNG, which does exist in the NXP MCU product (http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/LPC3130_31.pdf), so it might as well be present in the FX3.

   

 

   

If it is, is there an easy way to use it? If not, is there any other recommended way to generate a decent amount of entropy (about 4k at a shot)?

   

 

   

Thanks in advance,

   

/Markus
