Hi Palomo,
I don't think there's any other way at the moment. The patch in my email is one possible solution, but I'm not sure if it's right, because not all platforms with a Linux kernel have /dev/urandom.
I think the best solution would be to make the existence of /dev/urandom a platform configuration option. But platform options are a little messy already, between the MBEDTLS_HAVE_xxx options, the MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_STD_xxx options, the MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_xxx_MACRO options, the MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_xxx_ALT options. And this new option wouldn't behave like any of the existing ones since it should have three settings: guess (the default, identical to the current behavior of observing preprocessor symbols like __unix__), off and on. We should figure out what to do about platform options in 3.0 before making this even more complex.
me.todo.add("collect my thoughts on simplifying platform customization and post them to the list")
Regarding trainings, my team doesn't normally do that, but there are other teams in Arm that do. What topic are you interested in?
