CAAM TRNG Configuration includes 16-bit field entropy-delay. This field specifies how long the oscillator is given to freely oscillate and generate a single bit of entropy. It is specified as number of system clock cycles and this u32 type field already exist in the caam driver code with default value of 3200. However, on some platform this value can vary and support is added to read the value from device tree in order to override default value, Hope this helps to clarify. > > Rob
