I'm confused. You are saying Haveged runs fine on ARM, but it is inherently hardware-dependent and the authors do not seem to know of an ARM port. The Havege web site says on the overview page: " low-power superscalar processors (e.g. StrongARM, Intel Xscale) ... " HAVEGE can also be implemented on these platforms. A demo ... " for ... a Xscale processor is available. http://www.irisa.fr/caps/projects/hipsor/index.php Not that this has been implemented, just that it could be, and there's a demo for one CPU. Looking at their downloads page: http://www.irisa.fr/caps/projects/hipsor/download.php I find prebuilt binaries for a few architectures, but nothing at all for ARM, and for Debian, only x86 and Power PC. _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
