This should clear up some of the confusion with random number generators and drivers that obtain entropy from the hardware. Also, many hardware number generators have limited bandwidth, so it's natural for their output to be only used for seeding a random number generator.

Building and Running Project:
|
|
|
|
This project writes an infinite series of random numbers to the
|
|
console, 10 per second.
|
|
|
|
It can be built and executed on frdm_k64f as follows:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Sample Output:
