Ricard Rosson 02a9798a82 rp23xx: add TRNG driver (hardware /dev/random and /dev/urandom)
The RP2350 embeds an Arm CryptoCell-style true random number generator:
a sampled ring oscillator conditioned by von-Neumann, CRNGT and
autocorrelation health tests, presenting 192 bits in the six EHR_DATA
words.  Add a polling driver that serves those conditioned bits as
/dev/random and /dev/urandom.  Entropy is drawn rarely (an mbedtls
CTR_DRBG seeds once and reseeds occasionally), so a blocking poll is
used rather than interrupt plumbing; the hardware health-test failures
discard the block and re-arm the source, so only conditioned entropy is
returned.

A startup self-test gates the source before it is trusted: it draws a
sample of the conditioned output and rejects a stuck source (identical
consecutive 192-bit blocks), a constant byte, or an absurd run of equal
bytes.  On failure the source is marked unhealthy and every read returns
-EIO, so an entropy consumer fail-stops rather than minting keys on a
broken source.  (The statistical quality is covered by the hardware
VN/CRNGT/autocorr tests; this catches the gross, silent failure modes.)

New CONFIG_RP23XX_TRNG selects ARCH_HAVE_RNG, which switches
/dev/urandom from the software xorshift PRNG to the hardware source
(backing getrandom() and thus any entropy consumer such as mbedtls).

Tested on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W: /dev/random and /dev/urandom
register, the startup self-test passes, a read returns at real ring-
oscillator sampling latency (~10 ms / 32 B), two independent samples
differ, and mbedtls seeds its CTR_DRBG from /dev/urandom successfully.

Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).

For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.

Getting Started

First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.

Documentation

You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.

Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.

The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.

Supported Boards

NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.
