.. title:: ENTROPY_DEVICE_RANDOM_GENERATOR

.. option:: CONFIG_ENTROPY_DEVICE_RANDOM_GENERATOR

*Use entropy driver to generate random numbers*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

Enables a random number generator that uses the enabled hardware
entropy gathering driver to generate random numbers. Should only be
selected if hardware entropy driver is designed to be a random
number generator source.
