# Raspberry Pi Pico Random Number Generator
A basic random number generator that generates numbers from enviromental noise with the onboard DAC of the Raspberry Pi Pico. The project uses the Raspberry Pi Pico USB dev_lowlevel as a starting point. The Pico RNG is not meant to be FIPS 140-2 compliant as a stand-alone device by any means. However it does supply the Linux Kernel with random bits which can be used with the appropriate entropy to supply FIPS 140-2 compliant random numbers. Maybe one day the next gen Pico's will include an onboard crypto module.

## Project Goals
* Raspberry Pi Pico firmware generates random numbers as a USB Endpoint.
