Aloha!

If anybody is interested: The TRNG is now running on the TerasIC
DE0-Nano board(!). Complete chain with both ring oscillator based
entropy source and avalanche noise entropy driven by Fredriks board.

It has been a wee bit of a struggle due to some much needed API and
interface changes. (Things that you start to realize only when you get
your elbows dirty, way down into the code.)

I'll create some images and some simple data dumps. But next up is
getting the trng running on Novena. Time to really get busy with the
Novena as Cryptech platform.

BTW: Xilinx really don't like the combinational loops in the ring
oscillators and thinks they are all the same, thus removing all but one.
Its fixable with compiler directives.
