Does the PinePhone have a hardware random number generator? - LibrePhoneUser - 09-11-2020
Does the Allwinner A64 used in the PinePhone have a hardware random number generator, or do Linux users have to rely solely on the Linux kernel's pseudo-random rng?

Yes. It's not supported by the kernel.

Has support come with the 5.9 kernel, or is this component still completely unsupported?
