I would be very interested in this topic as well. The application I have in mind for this BBB relies on making varying amounts of SSL connections. In a test today I believe I ran the pool out of entropy and some handshakes would hang for a while before completing (typical SSL handshake would take about 1/2 a second but some would hang for 2 to 4 seconds before completing). Basically the performance is such that I can't use it for the desired application but getting the hwrng working would likely change everything. This unit is operating "headless" with no kbd/mouse or anything except network connected. I finally did break down and installed rng-tools to use /dev/urandom to seed /dev/random but I see that as basically a quick/dirty workaround. Even tried adding randomsound to add some entropy but that didn't seem to make any difference.
