Hello all & happy holidays, With the recent thread that mentions the noisiness of the accelerometers, I was reminded that the Freerunner has lots of sensors that are capable of being good sources of entropy for Linux's random number generator, especially with the Nav board installed.
The accelerometers actually already contribute entropy (the input device framework takes care of it), but the new devices on the Nav board do not. Do you think it would be a good idea to add that? I think that the BMP085 probably should not (sensor readings too predictable and hardly changing from one reading to the next) but the other two should be good candidates, especially the rate gyros. -Phil _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
