<div class="PlainText">Currently, RngDxe in SecurityPkg only supports Intel, with RdRand support.<br>
<br>
<br>
This RFC is to start a discussion about adding support for ARM.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have a Git branch with support for the optional ARMv8.5 RNDR <br>
instruction at <a href="https://github.com/bcran/edk2/commits/bcran-rndr">https://github.com/bcran/edk2/commits/bcran-rndr</a> which
<br>
moves the existing Intel support into a Rand directory, and adds code to <br>
support RNDR in a new AArch64 directory.<br>
<br>
There are other RNG implementations available for ARM, including <br>
platform-specific approaches on Graviton <br>
(<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/790304/">https://lwn.net/Articles/790304/</a>) and other platforms, so a more
<br>
thorough rearchitecting/redesign may be desired.<br>
