Too slow to be useful, and the BCM283x SoC already has an internal RNG: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/char/hw_random/bcm2835-rng.c https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/char/h... > ... or hardware-accelerated hashing The TPM is on a really slow bus (33 MHz, 4 bits, tons of wait states). Even without any hardware acceleration, hashing on the CPU is much faster.
