That device ran for literally ages, mostly to produce massive input files for DIEHARDER to attempt to prove its worth as a RNG.
I am sure it did that more often than it was used to seed the Linux /dev/random.
The project was also fun because of the "every last cycle" optimization of AVR assembler code to achieve the 2Mb/s generation rate of whitened bits.
- jayalpha 8y agoYes man, was fun to build it. But I pussied out with the layout etching and ordered them custom etched from ebay as a service. During high school I would have done it myself. BTW, Do you have an up to date software. I remember I run into trouble the last time I tried to use it. Great project. Thanks a lot.
- jepler 8y agoNo, sadly I haven't touched the project in ages.
