STRIX

Satellite True Random Information eXtractor

A portable wireless True Random Number Generator based on neoTRNG relized with an Arduino MKR Vidor 4000.

Set Up Dev Environment

Windows:

1. Install Arduino IDE from here or via chocolatey: choco install arduino
2. Install Intel Quartus Lite. In the list of devices select Cyclone 10 LP device support

FPGA Development

• In Quartus > Open Project > select strix.qpf from the fpga/src directory in this repo.

TODO

• Port neoTRNG to the MKR Vidor 4000 FPGA
• Fetch random numbers from the FPGA
• Serve random numbers via USB
• Make Vidor pairable via Bluetooth/Wifi
• serve randomness wirelessly
• battery pack
• 3D case
