   4 μrngd is OpenWrt's micro non-physical true random number generator based on
   5 timing jitter.

   7 Using the Jitter RNG core, the rngd provides an entropy source that feeds into
   8 the Linux /dev/random device if its entropy runs low. It updates the /dev/random
   9 entropy estimator such that the newly provided entropy unblocks /dev/random.
  10
  11 The seeding of /dev/random also ensures that /dev/urandom benefits from entropy.
  12 Especially during boot time, when the entropy of Linux is low, the Jitter RNGd
  13 provides a source of sufficient entropy.
