Aloha!

Ok, the latest status for the trng:

* The whole design with two entropy sources has been pushed through the
Altera Quartus FPGA tool. A lot of minor bugs fixed and committed to the
repo.

* I have promoted the ring oscillator entropy core and the avalanche
noise entropy from test status to core status and thus added them to the
core/ subsections. They _should_ produce good enough entropy to be useful.

* I have tried to map the on the Terasic DE0-board, but does not get the
expected blinkenlights. I need to do some testing too see that the
entropy sources (still) lives. This is high prio for tomorrow.

* I need to add a coretest-system for the trng to allow good API access.
Also tomorrow.

* I've started to push the design through Xilinx ISE. Should be done by
tomorrow.

The short version is that we are at least a day out having the trng on
the Novena. But should have it running on the DE0.

Lots of Verilog written and lots more to write. Emacs ftw.
