I've got 1MiB from each source. Of course I used raw data from /dev/hwrng
for tpm, exynos and rng200.
| Source | ea_iid -i | ea_iid -c (h') | ent |
|--------------+-----------+----------------+----------|
| /dev/random | 7.875064 | 0.998166 | 7.999801 |
| /dev/urandom | 7.879351 | 0.998373 | 7.999821 |
| tpm-rng | 7.880012 | 0.998118 | 7.999828 |
| exynos-trng | 7.435701 | 0.947574 | 7.991820 |
| rng200 | 7.883320 | 0.998592 | 7.999824 |

Thanks a lot, I am reading.
I will try to write somthing clever as soon as I parse and understand
these documents (and do other stuff too). Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
