Description of Change
Currently
radom()
uses a real hardware generator.Arduino mainstream
random()
uses a software pseudo generator that always returns the same pseudo random sequence based on a seed defined withrandomSeed()
This PR implements a similar behavior as the ESP8266 Arduino:
random()
will use the ESP32 Hardware real random generatorrandomSeed()
, the Arduino Core will understand that it wants to follow Arduino behavior and it will generate a Pseudo Random number based on that seed.void useRealRandomGenerator(bool useRandomHW)
that, at any time, tells Arduino ifrandom()
shall use Hardware or Software random generator.Tests scenarios
Tested on ESP32
