Aloha!

First results using the ent tool on entropy extracted from the rosc
entropy source implemented in the Xilinx Spartan-6 device on the Novena.
this is based on 62 MByte data:


Entropy = 7.999998 bits per byte.

Optimum compression would reduce the size
of this 67121200 byte file by 0 percent.

Chi square distribution for 67121200 samples is 227.52, and randomly
would exceed this value 89.14 percent of the times.

Arithmetic mean value of data bytes is 127.5040 (127.5 = random).
Monte Carlo value for Pi is 3.141248317 (error 0.01 percent).
Serial correlation coefficient is 0.000081 (totally uncorrelated = 0.0).



Not too shabby, it seems to be not totally b0rked.

I'm doing extraktion of more data. And if anybody wants the current raw
data to do further analysis just tell me.
