MSP432 Random Number Generator

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA

I had been looking around MSP432P401R register definitions and I've found a (what it seems) 32-bit random number generator under TLV registers.

  • TLV_RANDOM_NUM_1
  • ...
  • TLV_RANDOM_NUM_4

I tested it and it generated something (based on the time difference between two pulses with and without the random call), but I have found nothing about it in Technical reference manual  - there's only a mention of TAG_RANDNUM (random number tag).

Does it generate a random number for me to use inside a let's say Energia sketch? Do I need to seed it? What are the properties of it, if anyone knows?

Thanks for the answers.
