RNDR

Random Number. Returns a 64-bit random number from an approved Random Bit Generator, where the Deterministic Random Bit Generator within the Random Bit Generator is reseeded from an approved entropy source at an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED rate. See 'Properties of the generated random number'.

If the instruction cannot return a genuine random number in a reasonable period of time, PSTATE.NZCV is set to 0b0100 and the data value returned is 0.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_RNG is implemented or FEAT_RNG_TRAP is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to RNDR are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

Field descriptions

RNDR, bits [63:0]

Random Number. Returns a 64-bit Random Number from an approved Random Bit Generator, where the Deterministic Random Bit Generator within the Random Bit Generator is reseeded from an approved entropy source at an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED rate. See 'Properties of the generated random number'.

The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing RNDR

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
