Added option to use task PID for EUI seed under native POSIX #49
Conversation

Thanks for the PR. Under some circumstances it may be desirable to have a "predictable" random generator, e.g. for tests in CI, which is why such a generator is used by default in Otherwise you can also alter the seed value on the command line: Would that be sufficient? If not, I'd be fine with your proposed change, but I'd like it to be selectable via Kconfig (defaulting to no), as I prefer having always the same ID when I do some debugging (as this is more like an actual device which is switched off and on). |

Thanks Martin, I was not aware that I could update the seed in this way and that'll probably work for my needs. I still think the changes may be useful so I'll add your Kconfig suggestions shortly. |

sys_rand32_get() seems to return the same sequence when spooling up multiple thingset duplicate POSIX applications. This uses the task PID instead.
