Hi Mohamed,

You can get random numbers from the CryptoCell peripheral using the Zephyr Entropy API. See the Entropy sample for reference.

Hi Ketiljo,

I found on DevZone that over a year ago someone mentioned this example "nrf_drv_rng_rand". Heidi was in fact assisting a developer with this. It sounds like it could be helpful to me. Where can I find it?

Kind regards

Mohamed

Thank you Ketiljo.

Would it be possible to point me to an example C code that uses this peripheral preferably under Zephyr?

Kind regards

There's a separate peripheral block that generates random numbers: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf5340/rng.html
