Random number question

[JLS]

Hi all

Is possible make random number generator with random first state ? (like true random)

I´m testing random routine from StartKit example projects (app_noughts_and_crosses) but not working - first value when ON StartKit is same value like before previous ON !

Second question - c++ function rand() or random() not implement in compiller ?

Thanks info

Yep - should be possible, depending on your definition of random!

There's a free running ring oscillator in each tile which varies based on PVT which can be used as a seed, so pretty difficult to predict without detailed knowledge of you power supply rail, die temperature and batch code of the chip. Should be random enough for gaming ;-)

FYI, rand() etc are in stdlib.h
