Hi Rebecca,
I agree MdePkg/Library/BaseRngLib can be refactored to support both x86 and AArch64.
BaseRngLib would then be a RngLib instance that uses CPU instructions to provide random numbers.
Regards,
Sami Mujawar

I vote the latter.

Hi Sami,
I've been looking through the design document again, and was wondering
if the work I previously did will just slot in?
Were you thinking the "RngLib|RNDR" would go into ArmPkg (since it's not
labeled as being in BaseRngLib)? Or would it still make sense to
refactor MdePkg/Library/BaseRngLib to support both x86 (using RDRAND)
and aarch64 (using RNDR)?

1. TrngLib|FwTrnglib (Arm Firmware TRNG)
2. DrbgLib stack – with support for DrbgAlgorithmLib|CRT_DRBG &
AesLib|ArmAesInstructionLib.
I plan to post patches for (a) in the next fortnight. Following this I
plan to update the proposal with the interface definitions for the
various library interfaces in the DrbgLib Stack.
I have not looked at RngLib|RNDR as I believe you were interested in
implementing the part. Kindly let me know if you plan to implement this
and the platform you would be using for testing. It looks like the
FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A and the FVP-RevC models support RNDR, so these
could be used for testing as well. Please feel free to get in touch
should you need any help with the model parameters or if you face any
issues.

Sami Mujawar

Hi Sami,
I was wondering if you're still collecting feedback on the design, or if
you have a plan and schedule for the implementation?
