Re: /dev/hwrng no such device

[Wesley Chow]

I realize this may not be a qemu issue at this point, but I am curious as to why rngd takes so long to initialize /dev/hwrng.

ding ding ding! The rngd startup latency appears to be an issue that was fixed in the most recent rng-tools 6.9 release and unrelated to QEMU.

If anybody is interested, our kernel that works with qemu+virt+raspbian is here: https://github.com/CorticoAI/rpiq-kernel/blob/master/prebuilt/4.19.97-r1/rpiq-kernel-4.19.97-r2

Thanks,
