Thanks Martine,

But as the atmegarfr2 is a soc this is the hwrng for this device.

So what would be the best place to put it if not as cpu/periph in this special 
case?

I would then implement it as CPU feature and remove the depency to the 
at86rf2xx driver.

Still the remaining question is it made sure that random32 calls or any calls 
to random are directed to hwrng_read
Is this already done by just enabling the module when building with 
FEATURES_REQUIRED = periph_hwrng ?

Betreff: Re: [riot-devel] hwrnd how to implement

Hi Josua,

when the RNG component of the at86rf2xx driver was provided in [1] we decided 
to not implement the `periph/hwnrg` with it.
Main reasons are that it is

1. Not a `periph` (i.e. a CPU feature)
2. Hard to integrate when e.g. the CPU already provides a `hwnrg`.

Hope this helps,
Martine

Hello all,

While implementing the at86rfr2 transceiver for the jiminy board I thought of 
also implement the hwrng.

What I did is implementing in cpu/atmega256rfr2/periph/hwnrg.c
hwrng_init
hwrng_read

Added feature and module to makefiles.

Now I have some questions:

  1.  How do I best include the depency to 
$(RIOTBASE)/drivers/at86rf2xx/include/at86rf2xx_internal.h, of hwrng.c in cpu 
folder?
  2.  How is it ensured that hardware random is used in all cases? And all 
other are not linked?
  3.  Where to find howto, concept description, implementation guide?

Best Regards
Josua
