The datasheet for the CPU (RK3328)  on page 9  (excerpt below) suggests that it does support both pseudo and true random number generation. I don't know what's needed to get it working though.

Quote:Cipher engine
  • Support AES 128/192/256
  • Supports the DES (ECB and CBC modes) and TDES (EDE and DED) algorithms
  • Supports MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 HASH algorithms
  • Support PKA(RSA) 512/1024/2048 bit Exp Modulator
  • Support 160-bit Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG)
  • Support 256-bit True Random Number Generator (TRNG)

OK let me do a little more research, perhaps the device isnt detected
