Hi! Any ideas about /dev/hwrng link to hardware random number generator? My environment: OrangePi 4+armbian buster+kernel 4.4.213

root@orangepi4:~# cat /dev/hwrng | rngtest -c 1000
cat: /dev/hwrng: No such device
rngtest 2-unofficial-mt.14

root@orangepi4:~# udevadm info -a -n /dev/hwrng

Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

  looking at device '/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random':
    KERNEL=="hw_random"
    SUBSYSTEM=="misc"
    DRIVER==""
    ATTR{rng_available}=="tpm-rng "
    ATTR{rng_current}=="tpm-rng"
