comment:8 Changed on 11/20/17 at 07:50:50 by Sebastian Huber <sebastian.huber@…>

In 3d374d9/rtems:

bsps: Use a state in default getentropy()

Use the boot time to initialize the state. Use the state, the current
CPU counter and a very simple pseudo random number generator for
getentropy(). At least, this enables to pass the test "GETENTROPY 1" on
ERC32.

Update #3239.
