Aloha!

Here is another nice interface topic. ;-)

The rng cores (avalanche_entropy, rosc_entropy, trng) all sports a debug
port. The purpose of that port is/was to be able to get some data out
from the FPGA to see that the entropy sources and trng is alive even
though the CPU might be missing.

But do we really need these ports still?

Extracting data and sending it to pins on the FPGA (to drive LEDs) can
be achieved with an internal bus master. Or by SW.
