An external entropy source in our case is a rng-user-space drivers which communicates with the adapter via the "vhost-user" protocol. If the option "VHOST_USER_RNG" is not specified into the "make" command, then the adapter will use its internal mechanism and produce its own random numbers (this case is used only for testing purposes). +**NOTE**: You can also use the parameter "DEBUG=1" in order to enable the debug messages. -Exaple building the adapter with all the available parameters: -`make ARCH=arm64 VHOST_USER_RNG=1 DEBUG=1` - -## Current status -This repository contains the current results of the activity carried on by Virtual Open Systems in the [Automotive Grade Linux](https://www.automotivegradelinux.org) community. Both code and documentation included in this release are under active development, and are intended to be used to familiarize with the concept of virtio-loopback and to give developers the opportunity to test it. +Example building the adapter with all the available parameters: +`make ARCH=arm64 DEBUG=1` |
