Function Documentation

void random_init

(

unsigned short

seed

)

Seed the cc2430 random number generator.

Seed the cc253x random number generator.

Parameters:

seed	Seed value for the RNG.

If the SEED argument is 0, seed the RNG with IF_ADC as discussed in the cc2430 datasheet (rev. 2.1), section 13.11.2.2, page 134. Seeding with this method should not be done during normal radio operation. Thus, use this function before initialising the network.

If the SEED is provided, seed with this value instead. This will result in the same sequence of random numbers each time the node reboots. So, don't use it unless you have a reason (e.g. tests)

Returns:

The random number.
