1. Initial G, THE firmaware

    Flying Stone Technology (FST) has started the development of a new firmware, called "Initial G".

    In November 2011, FST released the design of FST-01 (Flying Stone Tiny Zero-One). Then, FST manufactured and started selling of FST-01 in October 2012.

    The first lot of FST-01 comes with Gnuk version 1.0 …

  2. Running NIST STS 2.1.1 on NeuG True RNG (2)

    NeuG 0.05 was released, and I have a USB memory which says "64GB" capacity. This USB memory is a bit bigger than the one I used, and it can have 500 files of 125MB (=1,000,000,000 bits, that is for 1,000 samples of 1,000,000-bit …

  3. Connecting ST-Link/V2 to STM32 part of STM8S Discovery Kit

    ST-Link/V2 is not-so-expensive JTAG/SWD debugger.

    I use ST-Link/V2 with SWD to connect STM32 part of STM8S Discovery Kit.

    The connection

    Here is the top view of STM8S Discovery Kit:

  4. Running NIST STS 2.1.1 on NeuG True RNG

    In papers, we can see people use NIST STS test suite to evaluate RNG.

    However, I think that many people just evaluate short sequences, less samples, or only for several times (most are just a single time).

    Perhaps, it is because people have tendency to report "SUCCESS", not facts.

    Well …
