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. +A basic random number generator that generates numbers from enviromental noise with the onboard DAC of the Raspberry Pi Pico.

However it does supply the Linux Kernel with random bits that is used with the appropriate entropy to achieve FIPS 140-2 compliant random numbers.
