Hi,
i've been thinking about a different idea about a random number generator, which doesn't cost you a lot of cycles and RAM space.
Why not using the values of INTIM?
1. load a by one decreased value into TIM64T and let the loop countdown not to 0 but to negative values
2. make the checking loop 8 or 16 cycles long
3. get the lower bits (up to 3 or 4) from the last load of INTIM
Those bits shoud be nearly random, but only if your code before doesn't have a very constant timing (uses branches etc.)
You have to test...
