TMS320F280039C: Random number generation

Hi Wayne,

Wayne Huang said:

1. Does F28003x have any HW accelerator for that?

Wayne Huang said:

2. If not, how does TI suggest doing so?

There is a related post here on how we suggest generating random number from a set.

Wayne Huang said:

3. Bottom line, can the user use the standard C library function int rand(void), which should be defined in 

User can use the standard C library. Here is another post related to this here and here.

Best,

Dear Ryan,

OK, I tried with the standard C and it works.

Test code is listed for those who are interested in this topic.
