Detailed Description

Driver for the cc2538 Hardware Random Number Generator.

Function Documentation

random_init()

void random_init

(

unsigned short

seed

)

Seed the cc2538 random number generator.

Parameters

seed	Ignored. It's here because the function prototype is in core. We form a seed for the RNG by sampling IF_ADC as discussed in the user guide. Seeding with this method should not be done during normal radio operation. Thus, use this function before initialising the network.

Note

Must not be called after the RF driver has been initialised and is in normal operation. If it is absolutely necessary to do so, the radio will need re-initialised.

Returns

The random number.
