Peripheral unit tests are best run off-target in my experience. We mock out all register accesses for host builds, then can write unit tests that validate we write registers in the right order, handle states that are in-spec but hard to ge

According to the K2x family guide, some devices have an hardware RNG available -- is it right this project uses a K20 without this? It seems pretty bad that merely grounding 8 pins on this device will reduces its entropy to basically to a h
